The Java Developer's Toolkit : Techniques and Technologies for Web Programmers

In the fast-moving environment of programming languages, Java is now well established as the language of the World Wide Web. But users need to keep up with developments and uses of such tools. This text looks at the next generation of Java techniques and solutions and targets how Java may be used into the future. The book should help programmers solve the next generation Java challenges they will encounter as they attempt more sophisticated tasks. It targets a number of core applications programmers may want to create and the programming techniques and technologies needed to accomplish them. It provides solutions for Java problems that can't be solved even by the tools expected to become available. A companion Web site to the book will be made available - with Java applets and components. The site will also include links to the pages of Java tool and code library developers. The text covers: Java input/output techniques, including graphics and sound multi-threading; protocol handling in Java; controlling client interfaces in Java; networked and distributed processing; Java interaction with other technologies, including OLE, ODBC and security protocols.
