Java How-To: The Definitive Java Problem-Solver

Presenting more than one hundred common Java problems in a "How Do I" format, a comprehensive troubleshooting manual explains why certain problems occur and provides step-by-step solutions that include warnings. Original. (Intermediate).

Java How-To is a problem-solving guide for programmers with C experience and knowledge of object-oriented techniques. Each chapter tackles different aspects of the Java language, beginning with basic operations and graphics and moving on to threads, events, parameters, user interface construction, multimedia, and networking. The chapters are divided into sections, which are presented in a question-and-answer format. A sample question might be, "How do I create menus?" The authors answer the question with an example, then offer a step-by-step solution with full code. A discussion of how the solution works or what is happening in the code follows and the example concludes with any author comments. It should be easy to use the examples in this book as a starting point for solving real-life programming problems. The CD-ROM includes the complete Java source code and bytecodes for every "how-to"; the JavaSoft Java Developer's Kit (JDK) v. 1.0.2 from Sun Microsystems for Solaris 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and Microsoft Windows 95/NT; the HotJava browser from Sun Microsystems; and some bonus third-party applets.
