Frequently Asked Questions for vogella.de

Why do you maintain this website?

I maintain vogella.de to help others with Java technology related topics. If you like my website it would be cool if you tell other people about it, e.g. via Twitter or via Blogging.

I found an error in your tutorial? What can I do?

Please post the error (and a possible correction if available) to the www.vogella.de Google Group. I usually pick up corrections quite fast and adjust my tutorials.

I have problems with one of your tutorials? What is the best way to post questions?

You can post questions to my tutorials via Google Group for vogella . Please include a link to the article your are asking about, describe the section and try to be precise in your description of the problem.

Can I ask you questions via email?

Unfortunately I receive lots of questions via email. As a rule of thumb I don't respond to content-related questions via email.

Can you fix my code?

I think it is better if you fix your code. :-)

Can you please help me with a question which is not related to your tutorials?

As a rule of thumb I don't respond to questions if they are not related to my tutorials. The reason is that I don't have the time. I suggest you use the relevant Java forums, mailing list or newsgroup. For example if you are looking for help in Eclipse the Eclipse forums has many resources for people interested in using and extending Eclipse. Examples for question I tend not to answer:

• I'm trying to extend your examples but it doesn't work. Can you please help me?
• I'm trying to do something similar to your example but it doesn't work. Can you please help me?
• I'm trying something (which is not part of your tutorials) but it doesn't work. Can you please help me?
• I would like to do something (which is not part of your tutorials). Can you please tell me how?
