dev.java feedback

[Ethan McCue]

Hi all,

I've gone through a chunk of the dev.java site and marked up feedback in
this Figma

https://www.figma.com/file/pTnVYD5WHWxsIDoBDuUaFt/dev.java-feedback

I know it's infinitely easier to be a critic than a creator, but I think
that there are very real structural problems with the site as it exists
right now and I don't yet have a better mechanism to affect change.

The biggest and most pervasive issue is that there does not seem to be a
clearly defined audience.

Tutorials will shift rapidly between being targeted at
* Total beginners
* Beginners to Java who might know another language
* Intermediates looking for reference material
* Experts looking to catch up on new features

and the quality of content suffers massively as a result, ending up not
really being useful for any group.

I am also cc-ing the discuss mailing list since I think this sort of thing
is relevant to the community as a whole.

Thanks for taking the time Ethan. Our team will reach out directly once we’ve had a time to review your suggestions.

Just following up on this.

Following up again.

I have to assume that the team has not had time or inclination to review on
account of this still being on the home page.

"The DayOfWeek enum and the Month enum are dealing with day of weeks and
monts." (sic)

If there is anything I can do to make progress happen I will do it.

Thanks for follow up Ethan. I'm just recently back from paternity leave and as mentioned will reach out direct when we can get to this.
