Python Programming with the Java¿ Class Libraries: A Tutorial for Building Web and Enterprise Applications with Jython (v)

Python and Java are natural team-mates. Using Python together with the Java class libraries, developers at all levels can leverage Python's simplicity and Java's power together, building advanced Web and enterprise applications with remarkable speed and efficiency. Richard Hightower shows how, from start to finish. Using step-by-step examples, Hightower introduces the fundamentals of Python and object-oriented programming. You'll learn how to work with files, use Python's intrinsic functionality, and take advantage of Python's powerful string handling capabilities. Next, Hightower shows how to interface with Java APIs; how to build Swing graphical applications more easily with JPython; and, how to utilize SQL and JDBC to access enterprise data from Python programs. An important section shows how to use Python to solve problems that would otherwise require far more complex Java coding. For all Python programmers who want to take advantage of the Java class libraries. And. for all Java developers seeking faster, more efficient ways to build Web and enterprise applications.

Richard Hightower is the CTO at Trivera Technologies, a global training and consulting company that focuses on Enterprise Java Development. He leads the adoption of new processes including extreme programming, and helps implement coding standards and guidelines for development. He has created an extensible caching mechanism for caching JSPs, XSLTs, and JDBC results and a pluggable XSLT engine framework. Formerly the senior software engineer for Java Architecture at Intel's Enterprise Architecture Lab, Rick is a frequent contributor to Java™ Developer's Journal magazine and the coauthor of Java Tools for Extreme Programming (Wiley, 2001). At Intel, he led his team of developers in the design and implementation of three-tier, client-server applications; introduced O-O CASE tools; and created several frameworks using a variety of Java, COM, CORBA, and middleware technologies. Rick also created ICBeans and authored the patent application for this technology, which was awarded to Intel. A software engineer at heart, he specializes in development tools and processes, and developing enterprise applications using J2EETM, XML, UML, CORBA, JDBC, SQL, and Oracle technologies.
