For comprehensive courses in rapid Java application development.

Comprehensive and incremental, this text focuses on rapid Java application development. The early chapters introduce JavaBeans—the basis 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.

• NEW - Updated to JBuilder 4 and 5—Screen shots are taken from JBuilder 4 and new features in JBuilder 5 are presented in “JBuilder 5 NOTE” boxes.

  • Students can use either JBuilder 4 or JBuilder 5 with this book. Ex.___

• NEW - UML graphical notations are used to describe classes and their relationships whenever appropriate.

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

Java -- Intermediate / Advanced Programming (Computer Science)

Y. Daniel Liang is the author of the Prentice-Hall Liang Java Series. He has taught more than 50 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 via the Internet at liangjava@yahoo.com or liang@armstrong.edu.

Divided into two categories—advanced Java references and JBuilder-specific references—this text covers advanced Java programming and rapid Java application development. This revision introduces the concepts and practice of advanced Java programming to facilitate developing and managing Java programs. Aided by the tools JBuilder 4, 5, and 6 readers develop programs more productively, while learning advanced Java programming more effectively.

Y Daniel Liang offers JavaBeans, bean event model, model-view control, developing customized components, Swing components, creating layout managers, bean persistence, bound properties and constraint properties, bean introspection and customization, Java database programming, and enterprise programming using remote method invocation and servlets. The main thread of the book, however, promotes rapid Java application development (RAD) for developing programs efficiently and effectively.
