There are many implementations of neural networks... What will you be using it for? I wrote a fairly simple one in college in Java just using basic data types. Can you give me some more info?

This site has an applet which may be useful... possibly a little complex. (there is a link to the source):

I'm looking to compare 2 different NN architectures, namely radial basis function and feed forward (or plain multilayer perceptron), in its ability to distinguish cheaters on a memory test. A textbook with code examples would be useful to me.

Interesting. For good textbooks, I've had success using Amazon (especially reading their user reviews). Perhaps "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java" (http://tinyurl.com/2u23cy) would be useful.

I've visited Jeff Heaton's website. My fear is that his text is written completely around his JOONE framework. BUT, you gave me a good idea. I think I'll ask my local Barnes and Noble if they can order the book for me so I can look through it, prior to purchase.
