Attend a Stamp Course during the ESC trade show! Parallax rented the
Microsoft computer room across the street in the Sony Metreon so we can hold
courses for our customers! The courses are a hands-on interactive seminar
with the best Stamp hardware from Parallax. Choose from one of three
courses:
BASIC Stamp Robotics for Educators

The Javelin Stamp is very much like a BASIC Stamp (24-pin form factor),
except that it programs in Java. It has a couple of neat design features
that will migrate to other Stamps
* Has 32K of program space
* Runs program from SRAM which means about a 20x speed increase
* Runs up to six background processes (serial, pwm, etc.)
* Expected to start shipping in May 2002

For dumbums like me, where is some basic info on the Java programming
conventions, ie info suitable for new programmers. Its obviously heaps
harder than basic, or have Parallax simplified it.

Well, I'm really not a Java guy (yet), so maybe my namesake (and fellow
Texan), Al Williams, will step in and bail me out.
First ... go to your favorite technical book store to find books on Java. Of
course, the Javelin will come with a very good book -- written by Al (who has
a TON of Java experience).
I think it's fair to say no, we haven't simplified Java. There is a specific
definition and remaining as true to that as possible is important for the
Javelin to be accepted by hard-core Java programmers. Of course, being an
embedded controller, the Java used is a subset of what is found on a PC and
programmers will have to deal with some differences. That said, I have
successfully run several general examples -- virtually unchanged -- from an
off-the-shelf Java book.

The Java-like language adds a lot of "pro" features to your programs
like real subroutines with parameters and the ability to use and create
reusable pieces.
We took special care with the Javelin manual to make sure that if you
didn't know any Java you'd be able to get started easily and I think you
will enjoy the manual.
One thing to remember about Java, C++, or any language that provides
advanced features is that you often don't have to take advantage of the
advanced parts unless you want to. Sure, the purists may frown, but you
can be very productive without getting into the more advanced
techniques.
If you want to get started with Java early, there are a few ways you can
go. If you are C programmer, the Java in a Nutshell book is great
because it is succinct and lets you bridge what you know to what you
don't know. If you aren't a C programmer, you probably will want to skip
that book, however.
You can download the Java JDK for free at http://java.sun.com and they
also have several tutorials at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/.
As you might expect, avoid the GUI stuff, the sound, the 3d graphics,
and the databases, and the JavaBeans. However, don't skip over the
network stuff (meaningful glance) :-)
I've written many columns about Java at http://www.newarchitectmag.com
(look in archives for my Java@Work column). I also run Java classes from
time to time, but I haven't had any public ones scheduled for a while --
maybe I should set something up soon.
Keep waiting -- it'll be worth it!
