Dr Dobb's Java Development; Tools and Techniques

Gain breadth and context for understanding how Java works and why it is useful. Frustrated by the slow performance of your Java programs? The twelve authors of this up-to-date anthology show you how to overcome common performance bottlenecks. Among other techniques you'll learn how to include optimization strategies, avoid code motion (not supported by the JDK 2.0 version of the compiler), replace Java's prebuilt stack class with a stack class that handles only what your application requires, use inlining, and synchronize methods when you are using multithreading. The companion CD-ROM contains plain ASCII text files of all listings printed in the book, with additional code for some articles. Among the goodies on the CD you'll get: An automated conversion tool to move the user interface part of a C or C++ Windows application to a Java applet. A translation utility than can move a Windows user interface to a Java class, or that can be modified to convert a Visual Basic form to a Windows resource script or to a Java applet. A Java Clipboard class than can exchange data with other applications. The framework and support tools to create thin client applications and deploy them over the Internet using Java's cross-platform toolkit, AWT. A Java database server and client applet, "Call Tracker." Dr. Dobb's Journal is recognized as the world's leading authority on programming. The Programmer's Resource Series is a joint effort of several leading software development magazines, among them Dr. Dobb's Journal, Dr. Dobb's Sourcebook, C/C++ Users Journal, Web Techniques, and Windows Developer's Journal.
