JAVA Expert Solutions

EBook Description: Java is one of the most significant software products to hit the scene in a long time. Unlike Netscape, whose impact was big and immediate, Java's full impact won't be realized for a long time. Java is more than just a programming language. It requires a different mindset when developing applications.

The World Wide Web, for much of its existence, has been a method for distributing passive information to a widely distributed number of people. The Web has, indeed, been exceptionally good for that purpose. With the addition of forms and image maps, Web pages began to become interactive-but the interaction was often simply a new way to get at the same information. The limitations of Web distribution were all too apparent once designers began to try to stretch the boundaries of what the Web can do. Even other innovations, such as Netscape's server push to create dynamic animations, were merely clever tricks layered on top of a framework that wasn't built to support much other than static documents with images and text.

Java By Example

Using Java, you can do everything from adding simple animation to your Web pages to writing sophisticated computer programs that your Web page's users can use online. Applets that have already been released include games, spreadsheets, graphing programs, animation controllers, simulators, and much, much more. Java is so intriguing and so successful that even major players in the industry, including Netscape and Microsoft, have jumped aboard, providing Java-compatible software for the Internet.

The Java Virtual Machine Specification

Java is a general-purpose concurrent object-oriented programming language. Its syntax is similar to C and C++, but it omits many of the features that make C and C++ complex, confusing, and unsafe. Java was initially developed to address the problems of building software for networked consumer devices. It was designed to support multiple host architectures and to allow secure delivery of software components. To meet these requirements, compiled Java code had to survive transport across networks, operate on any client, and assure the client that it was safe to run.

Java Code Conventions

Code conventions are important to programmers for a number of reasons: * 80% of the lifetime cost of a piece of software goes to maintenance. * Hardly any software is maintained for its whole life by the original author. * Code conventions improve the readability of the software, allowing engineers to understand new code more quickly and thoroughly. * If you ship your source code as a product, you need to make sure it is as well packaged and clean as any other product you create.

Java Development Kit

The JavaTM Development Kit 1.2 contains major features and enhancements to the Java platform.

JavaScript Manual of Style

This is a book about writing exciting Web pages with JavaScript. Before JavaScript or its ancestor, LiveScript, Web pages were written in HTML. The pages could be very sophisticated in their layout, but they just sat there. JavaScript can make your Web pages come alive. Your Web pages can now be dynamic, changing before the user's eyes. JavaScript can make your Web pages both more interesting and more fun.

Teach Yourself JavaScript in a Week

The World Wide Web has come a long way since its days as a modest hypertext system used by a few scientists to share information on the Internet.

Client-Side JavaScript Guide

This book explains how to use core and client-side JavaScript for version 1.3. JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language for client and server applications.
