Advanced Java 1.1 Programming

When Sun Microsystems introduced the online community to Java, programmers scrambled to learn about the language that's revolutionizing Web sites. This is the first book to take them beyond the basics, introducing programming nuances and advanced techniques they can use to unleash Java's considerable potential. Written by two Sun insiders intimately familiar with Java, this unique reference tool comes with a CD-ROM containing Java applets and javadoc-generated HTML documentation for all of the code presented in the book. Information-hungry programmers will get hard-to-find details on developing GUIs in Java, creating reusable client/server programs in Java, multithreading, and writing Java applets that interact directly with Web browsers. The book also covers Java's useful but little-understood libraries and more.
