I need a cheat sheet for Java and started looking around, but could not find one that seemed "canonical" - which surprised me considering how widespread the language is. Could experienced Java coders please suggest a cheat sheet that is useful (organized so well you actually use it often) and complete (covers real-world daily usage) please?
By contrast, here's what I'd consider a canonical cheat sheet for Python: http://rgruet.free.fr/PQR26/PQR2.6.html
It is complete (syntax, types, statements, built-ins, common modules, idioms) and useful (well-organized: sectioned and hyperlinked; easy to search, and easy to explore).
Also, I have looked at the listing here already: http://devcheatsheet.com/tag/java/ and did not find a cheat sheet comparable to RGruet's Python cheat sheet above. The top listing in Google for "Java cheat sheet" is http://www.cs.princeton.edu/introcs/11cheatsheet/ which is fairly complete, but not organized to be useful. There's gotta' be something better out there!? BTW, it need not fit on 1 page. I'm aware of the Java API docs, but that's more what I'd expect a cheat sheet to link to, not be.
Some SO members thought this question was subjective, but I think I explained my criteria to be fairly objective: completeness (content) and usefulness (presentation) are not hard to judge in this context. I've accepted one of the more useful answers, but remain surprised that Java doesn't have a canonical cheat-sheet.
This question is related to
java
This one didn't seem too bad.
Here is a great one http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/
These languages are big. You cant expect a cheat sheet to fit on a piece of paper
This Quick Reference looks pretty good if you're looking for a language reference. It's especially geared towards the user interface portion of the API.
For the complete API, however, I always use the Javadoc. I reference it constantly.
It's not really a cheat-sheet, but for me I setup a 'java' search keyword in Google Chrome to search over the javadoc, using site:<javadoc_domain_here>.
You could do the same but also add the domain for the Sun Java Tutorial and for several Java FAQ sites and you'd be OK.
Otherwise, StackOverflow is a pretty good cheat-sheet :)
I have personally found the dzone cheatsheet on core java to be really handy in the beginning. However the needs change as we grow and get used to things.
There are a few listed (at the end of the post) in on this java learning resources article too
For the most practical use, in recent past I have found Java API doc to be the best place to cheat code and learn new api. This helps specially when you want to focus on latest version of java.
mkyong - is one my fav places to cheat a lot of code for quick start - http://www.mkyong.com/
And last but not the least, Stackoverflow is king of all small handy code snippets. Just google a stuff you are trying and there is a chance that a page will be top of search results, most of my google search results end at stackoverflow. Many of the common questions are available here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/java?sort=frequent
found one interesting cheat sheet here.. http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/11cheatsheet/
