1.4 Welcome to Java News Today
Throughout this book, we will be following the evolution of a fictional Web site called Java News Today. JNT is a start-up company of Java enthusiasts who want to create a compelling, up-to-the-minute site covering all things Java. Because it wants to attract and maintain an audience, JNT will make its site as dynamic as possible. In addition to updating the content frequently, the site is to have games, polls, search functionality, and other interactive features. JNT also considers it very important to allow users to customize and adjust the site to fit their own needs. The folks at JNT hope that lots of users will make JNT their home page and that no users will move into a home they cannot decorate themselves.
Everyone at JNT will openly admit to being a fan of the Slashdot site, at http://www.slashdot.org, and the Java Lobby, at http://www.javalobby.org. Readers familiar with those sites may notice some similarities in the features that JNT is trying to build. But then, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
