2.5.1 Java Tutorial
The online tutorial system for java on java.sun.com has been in use for many years. It has an extensive database of tutorials, allowing users to find information useful to them. However, there are some features that are missing from the system.

Information is organized into general categories, then are expanded into specific topics in each sub-category

Unless the user is looking for a specific tutorial name, the search engine will return many results. It sometimes is hard to find the right tutorial.
Tutorials are listed on one page for each lesson, not broken up over several pages
More general categories are need for finding information easier

Does not have user accounts
Does not have quizzes at the end of each lesson
Does not have security features that restrict access to the site
