What I always look for, though, is the new version of the Unicode book. In about 1,000 pages of technical text, one can find out amazing things about various languages and writing systems. —

Phil's Font Fixes
The bits are in: we've just integrated LCD Text support into build 39 of J2SE Mustang. You can download the latest Mustang build and check it out (we integrated this feature into build 39, which should be live now).

Introduction to JGoodies Binding
You can get a quick start guide to the java.net JGoodies project: Rob Smith's OCI article Introduction to JGoodies Binding. JGoodies "Simplifies binding Java Bean properties to UI components,
Reduces the lines of code needed to build Java UIs, [and]
Encourages separation of domain and presentation layers" The article shows how you might use Swing to display a simple UI and then introduces JGoodies and shows how the code changes.
Create test cases for Web applications
Test-driven development produces better code, and automated testing keeps you from having to repeat tests over and over by hand. The article Create test cases for Web applications introduces jWebUnit, a library for testing web applications, based on the popular HttpUnit and JUnit testing tools. " jWebUnit provides a high-level API for navigating a Web application, combined with a set of assertions for verifying the correctness of navigation via links, form entry and submission, table contents, and other typical business Web application features."
