With this book, introductory programmers can learn Java step-by-step, in bite-sized chunks. When they finish this book, they will be competent to develop both the client and server sides of Internet applets and applications. CD-ROm contains all programs in the book, and Sun's Java Developer's Kit.

The first guide to Java networking and communication that includes extensive coverage of socket programming, and building applets and applications for Windows 95, NT and Macintosh platforms. It includes in-depth coverage of basic and advanced Java socket programming, applications written with URL classes, threads, streams and networking in Windows and Macintosh environments, using native libraries. It also includes detailed notes on protocol-specific issues. Courtois gears his book for intermediate-to-advanced Java programmers.

As a Java programmer, or a Java-enabled Web browser like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer, you need to be aware of the security concerns surrounding Java, and the potential pitfalls of Java-based applets. Complete with a non-programmer's introduction to Java, and informed tips about Java security past, present and future, the book gives you everything you need to weigh the benefits of Java use against the risks.

Sun Microsystems--the creator of Java--offers a Certification Exam that programmers take to demonstrate their proficiency with the language. Passing the test can mean a higher salary or a better job. This book is the ultimate authority for taking the test--since the author of the book actually developed the exam for Sun! He designed and implemented the testing guidelines and wrote the questions! This Study Guide covers every exam objective defined by Sun--including sample questions and annotated answers--and has been given the stamp of approval from the Sun Education Team.

Hey developers, it's serious Java time. With extensive coverage of the challenging advanced Java topics, this book will take readers to the next level of Java programming. Completely practical, the book focuses on problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques developed and tested by five well-respected Java programmers/educators. You'll find plenty of reusable code, both in the book and on the companion CD. The CD also includes timesaving applets, tools, and utilities. If you're building full-scale Java applications, you need this book on your desk.

Covering one of the hottest topics in programming today, this second edition covers more advanced Java programming topics and techniques.

This tutorial is structured to enable Web developers to create practical JavaScript applets as quickly as possible. The book presents background on JavaScript's evolution and the problems it is intended to solve. Walks through development of a simple script, and use of built-in JavaScript objects to create a program framework quickly and effectively. Detailed coverage of developing user interface elements, and linking them to actions. Covers math and text manipulation with JavaScript; handling statistical results; including Java applets in your Web pages, and creating your own objects.

Covers basic technologies of laboratory computing, high-performance computing environments and emerging technologies including neural networks, artificial intelligence and hyper-information systems, focusing on actual applications and case studies.

Designed to help nontechnical readers make informed decisions about their own systems, Local Area Networks: - outlines the pros and cons of the most common configurations-star, ring - discusses the physical factors in LAN topology, media, and installation requirements - considers network software-with special emphasis on the ISO layered model of communications protocols - offers thorough coverage of network services, expansion, standards, and the accompanying problems - provides additional information on the cost and administration of networks

Programmers acknowledge that understanding the internals of the machine helps them write more efficient code in COBOL, C, and other high-level languages. Whether you are working on a Year 2000 team or setting up an e-commerce application, this book gets you up and running with the skills you'll need to retrofit systems and move mainframe programs into the 21st century. Designed to build skills rapidly and intuitively, Mainframe Assembler Programming: teaches you how program mainframe Assembler on your PC; starts you programming usable code from day 1, page 1; structures all lessons around real-world business applications; uses the same five data sets throughout, so you get progressively more sophisticated results as you learn.

Written for a diverse audience who need a book that describes a new generation of techniques for compressing, storing and retrieving information-both machine readable text and optically scanned documents-extremely efficiently. Distributors of electronic databases such as books and encyclopedias on CD-ROM and computer software will benefit directly from the techniques described in this book.

This handbook offers a managerial approach to software reuse -- its advantages and disadvantages, cost-justification, current reuse efforts, and strategies to implement and deploy reuse in a corporate environment. This book shows how to perform a detailed cost/benefit analysis to determine whether software reuse is economically appropriate; and how to apply a proven reuse implementation strategy -- complete with tools, training tactics, and standards. It shows how to incorporate reuse in each stage of the traditional software development lifecycle, and how to tackle management challenges such as productivity measurement, organizational structure, motivation and incentives, and the legal implications of reuse.
