Caching is a power mechanism for data access optimization, used for solving various problems. Caching is also very useful for developing program systems, saves calculation resources when a cached object property is accessed repeatedly. And the main complexities are not in caching itself, but in implementing timely cache actualization. To solve the task, the refreshable object library for Java was elaborated.

other advanced articles about landscape generation, AI, ... .
Java Game Tutorial #1: Getting Started
Do you want to write games using industry-standard languages
and tools, but lack the money required to buy commercial
compilers, editors, and SDKs? Check out this tutorial at the
"Free Gamer's Journal". It will get you set up to write games
in Java, using high-quality IDEs--and all without spending a
cent. This is the first in a series of articles designed to
take the beginner from ground zero to the production of several
games--the last of which will be at the quality level of many
commercial on-line Java products.
Java Game Tutorial #2: Starting from Scratch
In this tutorial, we cover the basics needed to start a new game. Topics include working with object-oriented programming (OOP), creating new projects from the ground up, and working with loops. By the end, you'll have three new apps under your belt--one of which is the start of a Battleship game.
Java Game Tutorial #3: Game Structure
In this tutorial, we cover the basics of setting up a game's structure. We'll describe how to make a title page and setup screen for your game. We'll also discuss basic mouse programming in Java. We'll apply everything to our continuing Battleship project, getting the game fully under way.
Java Game Tutorial #4: Arrays and User Interaction
This time, we'll cover 2 dimensional arrays and elaborate on the mouse logic we wrote in the last installment. This new information will allow us to write a "game setup" state for Battleship, in which both the computer and human players place their ships on the board.
Java Game Tutorial #5: 'for' Loops, Gameplay, and AI
In this installment, we complete the basic Battleship game. We
Add a status display to show ship damage levels, write code to
allow the player to fire on the computer, and develop a strong
opponent AI system
Java Game Tutorial #6: Back Buffers and Sound
In this installment, we complete Battleship. We improve the
graphics, remove screen flicker using a back buffer, and
incorporate sounds. We also fix a bug or two and add a "play
again" feature. Includes source and resource files for the
complete game.
Make bad code good

RAD Tutorial w/ JavaServer Faces and WS Portal
The latest release of IBM WebSphere Studio and the Portal
Toolkit plug-in provide new features for developing front-end
applications using Java Server Faces. These features enable
developers to quickly and easily use visual rapid-application
development tools and provide a rich set of interesting user
interface components not easily created or maintained in the
past. This tutorial demonstrates how a framework as flexible as
Java Server Faces and the tools provided by both WebSphere
Studio and the Portal Toolkit make short order of integrating,
testing and maintaining a portal-based front end.
