Computer Science

For courses in advanced Java programming or rapid Java application development. This book covers the advanced Java features that are used in upper level courses such as software engineering, graphical user interface design, database programming and distributed programming so it can also be used as a supplementary text for such courses.

Comprehensive and incremental, this text introduces advanced Java programming with the tool Forte while focusing on rapid Java application development. The early chapters introduce JavaBeans—the bases of rapid Java application development—while subsequent chapters apply step-by-step rapid application development techniques to build comprehensive, robust and useful graphics applications, RMI, and Java servlets.

• Representative examples—Carefully chosen and presented in an easy-to-follow style teaches application development. Each example is described, and includes the source code, a sample run, and an example review.

  • Allows students to learn Java from good representative examples.

• Hands-on examples—Each example gives detailed step-by-step instruction for building a project using Forte's Form, Beans Pattern wizard, and a variety of wizards.

  • Shows students how to build Java projects using Forte with minimum coding for maximum productivity.

• Comprehensive coverage—Covers advanced Java programming on JavaBeans, Bean event model, model-view architecture, developing customized components, Swing components, creating custom layout managers, Bean persistence, bound properties and constraint properties, Bean introspection and customization, Java database programming, and distributed programming using remote method invocation and Java Servlets.

  • Teaches students the fundamentals of rapid Java application development.

• UML graphical notations—Used to describe classes and their relationships whenever appropriate.

  • Teaches students about this standard notation that is used in the real world for planning and developing object-oriented programs.

• Excellent pedagogy.

  • “Notes” provide additional information on the subject at hand and reinforce important concepts, “Tips” teach good programming style and practice, and “Cautions” help students steer away from programming errors.

• CD-ROM with each book.

  • Contains source code, solutions to even-numbered programming exercises and the following software: Sun's Java 2 Software Development Kit, Standard Edition, version 1.4 for Windows and Linux; Sun's Forte for Java, release 3.0, Community Edition for All Platforms.

Object-Oriented Programming [JAVA] (Computer Science)

Y. Daniel Liang is the author and editor of the Prentice Hall Liang Java Series. He has taught more than sixty Java courses to university students and corporate employees.

Dr. Liang is currently a Yamacraw professor of software engineering in the Department of Computer Science at Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, Georgia. He can be reached at liangjava@yahoo.com.

In this most recent iteration of Rapid Java, Y. Daniel Liang shows both professionals and students how to use Sun ONE Studio 4 to develop and manage advanced Java programs. The text covers Java Beans, model-view control, advanced Swing components, JDBC, servlets, JSP and RMI. This book will allow the reader to master the powerful Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE and use it to develop advanced W v projects effectively, efficiently, and with a minimum of coding.

As with earlier editions, the approach is incremental in style. Early chapters introduce JavaBeans, the building blocks of rapid Java development, while later chapters focus, sequentially, on rapid application development techniques designed to create comprehensive, robust, and useful graphics applications, RMI and Java servlets.

• Hands-on examples provides step-by-step instruction in building a project using w m ONE Studio's Form, Beans Pattern wizard and a variety of other wizards.
• Comprehensive coverage of advanced Java programming on Java Beans, Bean event models, developing customized components, Swing components, creating custom layout managers, Bean persistence, bound properties and constraint properties, Bean introspection and customization, Java database programming and distributed programming using remote method invocation and Java servlets.
• UML graphical notations illustrate real-world standard notations used for Manning and developing object-oriented programs.
• Excellent pedagogy includes "Notes" expanding the reader's informational base on the topic matter, "Tips" to develop good programming style and practice, and "Cautions" to help avoid programming errors.
• CD-ROM with each book contains Sun ONE Studio 4 and Forte IDE source code, solutions to even-numbered programming exercises, and a wealth of related software.
• A website to supplement the text will be provided by the author.
