Leading-Edge Java is a peer-reviewed, online journal for the Java community. It's mission is to publish articles that help professional Java programmers keep their skills up to date. We are looking for authors to write great articles in three categories—feature articles, tutorials, and commentary.

In our Feature Articles section, we publish technical articles for Java practitioners. A feature article should be practical. It should in some way help practicing Java programmers do a better job—be more productive, write more maintainable code, get more out of the Java language, etc. In our Tutorials section, we publish articles that introduce new concepts to Java programmers. Tutorials can cover topics such as Java language features, Java APIs, the use of Java with other technologies. Seasoned Java programmers with opinions are invited to write articles for our Perspectives section.

Keep in mind that Leading-Edge Java is peer-reviewed, so you may wish to show your article to a few of your closest Java friends before submitting it to our review process. In addition, remember you needn't limit yourself by what is typically presented on the printed page, as these articles will be published online on the World Wide Web.
