JavaTech, an Introduction to Scientific and Technical Computing with Java

JavaTech is a practical introduction to the Java programming language with an emphasis on the features that benefit technical computing. After presenting the basics of object-oriented programming in Java, it examines introductory topics such as graphical interfaces and thread processes. It goes on to review network programming and develops Web client-server examples for tasks such as monitoring remote devices. The focus then shifts to distributed computing with RMI. Finally, it examines how Java programs can access the local platform and interact with hardware.

JavaTech is a practical introduction to Java with an emphasis on the features that benefit technical computing. After presenting the basics of object-oriented programming, it reviews network programming, develops Web client-server examples for simple tasks, and examines how to access the local platform and interact with hardware. An extensive web site supports the book with additional instructional materials. JavaTech demonstrates the ease with which Java can create powerful network applications and distributed computing applications. It is ideal for programming courses, and researchers who need Java for a particular task.
