Book Description


76696-4

“Core Java is the best choice for experienced programmers. It is unmatched for technical depth, yet remains highly readable.” —K.N. King, Computer Reviews

Comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of advanced topics including:

  • input and output

  • object serialization

  • multithreading

  • network programming

  • distributed objects

  • databases

  • native methods

  • Java Beans

    • Put Java to work on real problems!

    Written for serious programmers who have mastered the fundamentals of the Java language, Core Java 1.1, Vol. II thoroughly explains the more advanced features and libraries you need to build real programs.

    New chapters on Java Beans, Advanced AWT, Security, and Internationalization focus on the features and functions added to Java with the release of JDK 1.1. Updated chapters on multithreading and networking include extensive examples and thoroughly tested sample code that illustrate some of the most powerful features of Java.

    Volume II also provides in depth coverage of the Java Enterprise API-JDBC, RMI, Native Methods-that demonstrates what objects everywhere can be realistically used for.

    The CD-ROM includes all Java source code examples from the book, the latest version of JDK 1.1.x and useful shareware as well as all of the example code from Core Java 1.1, Volume I.
