Synopsis

Java 2 In Plain English cuts to the core of Java 2 by delivering both a detailed reference section covering key components of the Java language, and a dense tutorial covering the essentials of Java 2. Instant access to core Java information comes through extensive cross references with live page numbers, topical and alphabetical organization of material, valuable examples, clean design, and a strong user-friendly In Plain English section that identifies common tasks and their corresponding elements.

A programmer's ability to reference the Java language from multiple angles beyond an ordinary index makes this book a powerful programming tool. With Java 2 In Plain English at your side, you can immediately solve Java programming problems with the strength of a relational database instead of a simple index!

About this title

From the Publisher:

Highlights of Java 2 In Plain English: · Immediately answers any core question for Java 2 programmers the way they want to learn—by task, by traditional tutorial, or by a comprehensive description of Java core components including keywords, operators, and select API classes · New series features include an expanded In Plain English section, extensive cross-referencing throughout the book with live page numbers and dictionary running heads in reference section · Topically groups and details core Java components in the Reference section including valuable descriptions and examples for each API covered · Indispensable reference for experienced computer programmers who need the core Java programming components and examples in one easy to use source EJB: JavaBeans and the Enterprise One last issue worth addressing before closing the topic of JavaBeans is Enterprise JavaBeans, also known as EJB. Enterprise JavaBeans is a technology built on JavaBeans that is designed to address the needs of enterprise application middleware. If you aren’t too familiar with middleware, it is the piece of an enterprise application that sits between the client and server and typically handles the processing of business rules. Because there are architectural advantages to breaking down business processing logic into discrete functional units, it made sense for the Java architects to utilize JavaBeans. Enterprise JavaBeans is not part of the standard Java 2 platform; instead, it is part of the broader Java 2 Enterprise Edition, which is also known as J2EE. J2EE is beyond the scope of this book.
