Synopsis

When the first edition of Java™ For Dummies® was published, it made Java not only comprehensible but also useable for mere mortals (and not a few professionals as well). Since then, the language hasn't sat still for a moment. Now, in Java For Dummies, 2nd Edition, Java junkie Aaron E. Walsh completely updates his best-selling reference with information on the latest Java developments. Walsh covers everything you need to know in order to add sound, animation, and interactivity to your Web pages by using Java, JavaScript, and HTML extensions. Plus, the bonus CD-ROM accompanying Java For Dummies, 2nd Edition, puts Java development tools and ready-to-use (and ready-to-modify) applets right into your hands.
