Java is a fast maturing development platform. Its cross platform nature, full object-orientation, simplicity and support for networking and database access make it the ideal choice for developers. In addition, the fastest Java platform performance ever is now available both for download, and on CD from America Online (AOL), thanks to an agreement between Sun and AOL to deliver the Java Runtime Environment on the AOL 5.0 CD-ROM.

The newest version of J2SE technology, Version 1.3, will deliver significant performance gains and improved Web deployment for enterprise-grade, client-side applications, making this as good a time as any to get into Java.
