Java Examples in a Nutshell: A Companion Volume to Java in a Nutshell (A nutshell handbook)

by David Flanagan (Author)

Synopsis

This text provides real-world example programs that not only serve as great learning tools, but can also be modified for individual use. The second edition covers Java 1.3, and contains 164 complete, practical programs: over 17,900 lines of densely commented, professionally written Java code covering 20 distinct Java API's, including Servlets, JavaServer Pages, XML, Swing, and Java 2D. The book is a companion volume to "Java in a Nutshell", "Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell", and "Java Enterprise in a Nutshell". While those books are quick references at heart, they each include accelerated tutorials on various Java topics. This text picks up where those books leave off, serving up a suite of example programs for novice Java programmers and experts alike. It delivers working examples for exploring the wide range of what's possible with Java. Each chapter concludes with programming exercises that suggest avenues for building further knowledge. "Java Examples in a Nutshell" contains the following: examples that demonstrate basic Java functionality and the essential Java API's, including I/O, threads, networking, security, reflection, serialization, and security; programs that use the graphical user interface and graphics features of Java, highlighting the Swing, Java 2D, printing, data transfer, JavaBeans, and applet APIs; examples that illustrate key enterprise APIs in Java, including remote method invocation (RMI), database connectivity (JDBC), servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and XML; and an example index that lets users look up a programming concept or Java class and find any examples in the book that demonstrate that concept or use that class.
