The second edition of Exploring Java, introduces the basics of Java, the object-oriented programming language for networked applications. The ability to create animated World Wide Web pages sparked the rush to Java. But what also makes this language so important is that it's truly portable. The code runs on any machine that provides a Java interpreter, whether Windows 95, Windows NT, the Macintosh, or any flavor of UNIX. Part of O'Reilly's definitive set of Java documentation, Exploring Java shows you how to write dynamic Web pages. But that's only the beginning. With a practical, hands-on approach characteristic of O'Reilly's Nutshell Handbooks(R), this book covers the essentials of hot topics like Beans and RMI and shows you how to quickly get up to speed writing Java applets (programs executed within Web browsers) and other applications, including networking programs, content and protocol handlers, and security managers. |
