Synopsis

A popular university-level text by a father and son team that introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented programming in Java. Contains 25 chapters progressing from Java applets and control structures through Swing GUI, networking, and JavaBeans. Appendices offer a list of resources, a chapter on number systems, and a case example with laboratory assignments. Text includes chapter objectives and summaries, key terms and concepts, self-quizes, and well over a thousand exercises. A Web site is available and included CD-ROM contains exercises from the text and programming tools such as Borland JBuilder 3 and NetBeans DeveloperX2. Annotation c.

From the Back Cover

In Java How to Program: Third Edition, the Deitels introduce the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and client/server development in Java. Key topics include: * Swing GUI, JavaBeans, event handling, graphics
* Distributed computing: Servlets, RMI, networking
* Database (JDBC), data structures, collections, files
* Multimedia, animation, audio
* Internet, World Wide Web
* Multithreading, exceptions

Java How to Program: Third Edition includes:

* Hundreds of "live-code" programs with screen captures that show exact outputs
* Extensive exercises (many with answers) accompanying every chapter
* Hundreds of tips, recommended practices and cautions-all marked with icons

Java How to Program is the centerpiece of a family of resources for teaching and learning Java, including a Web site (prenhall/deitel) with the book's code examples and other information for faculty, students and professional programmers; an optional interactive CD-ROM (Java Multimedia Cyber Classroom) containing extensive interactivity features— such as thousands of hyperlinks and audio walkthroughs of the code examples in Java How to Program— and e-mail access to the authors at

New Features in Java How to Program: Third Edition

This edition contains many new features and enhancements including:

Updated to the new Java 2 platform. Uses Swing GUI components in all programs with graphical user interfaces. Simplified early chapters to make learning Java easier for nonprogrammers. Introduced GUI event handling later (Chapter 6, "Methods") so nonprogrammers have a foundation of basic programming concepts before seeing this complex topic. Switched the emphasis from applets to applications to demonstrate Java the way it is typically used in industry. Enhanced the coverage of interfaces. Enhanced the coverage of GUI event handling. Introduced inner classes and their use with GUI event handling. Added coverage of Java's new Java2D graphics capabilities. Added coverage of the Java Media Framework (JMF). Added chapters on Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Servlets and Remote Method Invocation (RMI) — crucial in building multitier client/server systems. Added a chapter on Collections — Java's reusable data structures and the prepackaged algorithms for manipulating these data structures. Added a chapter on JavaBeans — Java's reusable software component technology. Updated appendices on Java demos and Java Internet and Web resources. Added an appendix on javadoc (part of Sun's Java 2 Software Development Kit) — the utility that creates HTML documentation from comments in a program. Added an appendix of Internet and Web resources for Enterprise JavaBeans. Added an appendix of Internet and Web resources for Jini.

Java How to Program: Third Edition includes:

16,485 Lines of Code in 220 Example Programs (with Program Outputs) 456 Illustrations/Figures 588 Programming Tips Summaries (1016 Summary bullets) Terminology Reviews (2295 Terms) 444 Self-Review Exercises and Answers (Count Includes Separate Parts) 959 Exercises (Solutions in Instructor's Manual; Count Includes Separate Parts) Approximately 5700 Index Entries (with approximately 9300 Page References) Software Included with Java How to Program: Third Edition

The CD-ROM at the end of this book contains Sun Microsystem's J2SDK 1.2.1 (i.e., Java 2) software development kit and two powerful Java integrated development environments (IDEs)-NetBeans DeveloperX2 and Borland JBuilder 3 University Edition. The CD also contains the book's examples and an HTML Web page with links to the Deitel & Associates, Inc. Web site, the Prentice Hall Web site and the many Web sites listed in the Appendices. If you have access to the Internet, this Web page can be loaded into your World Wide Web browser to give you quick access to all the resources.

NetBeans DeveloperX2 is a professional IDE written in Java that includes a graphical user interface designer, code editor, compiler, visual debugger and more. J2SDK 1.2.1 must be installed before installing DeveloperX2.

Borland JBuilder 3 University Edition is a customized version of JBuilder designed to meet the unique needs of the education market. The JBuilder 3 University Edition IDE includes an application browser, project manager, code editor, HTML viewer, graphical debugger and compiler. JBuilder 3 supports the latest Java standards, including Java 2, JavaBeans, JAR files, inner classes, internationalization, security and more.
