Java Technology Concept Map

We've all heard about looking into a map to know where you're going. For those of you who are new to Java (and still wanted to embrace it as a career path) take a look at this Java Technology Concept Map to get an overview of the Java landscape. You can then decide where your learning path is going to be and what you may need to touch to get there.

Looking at the map alone may overwhelm you, but it's much better than just being a confused wanderer. So, to my buddies out there that kept asking me to teach you Java, look at the map - then start getting into the specifics of what you need to do to move on and make sure you get your Object Oriented Analysis concepts nailed down too.

Here's the link to the Map at Sun's site (require flash): http://java.sun.com/new2java/javamap/intro.html
