| The author of the best-selling Java in a Nutshell has
created an entire book of real-world Java programming
examples that you can learn from. If you learn best "by
example," this is the book for you.
This third edition covers Java 1.4 and contains 193
complete, practical examples: over 21,900 lines of densely
commented, professionally written Java code, covering 20
distinct client-side and server-side APIs. It includes new
chapters on the Java Sound API and the New I/O API. The
chapters on XML and servlets have been rewritten to cover
the latest versions of the specifications and to demonstrate
best practices for Java 1.4. New and updated examples
throughout the book demonstrate many other new Java features
and APIs.
Java Examples in a Nutshell is a companion volume to Java in
a Nutshell, Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, and Java
Enterprise in a Nutshell. It picks up where those quick
references leave off, providing a wealth of examples for
both novices and experts. This book doesn't hold your hand;
it simply delivers well-commented working examples with
succinct explanations to help you learn and explore Java and
its APIs.
Java Examples in a Nutshell contains examples that
demonstrate:
Core APIs, including I/O, New I/O, threads, networking,
security, serialization, and reflection
Desktop APIs, highlighting Swing GUIs, Java 2D graphics,
preferences, printing, drag-and-drop, JavaBeans, applets,
and sound
Enterprise APIs, including JDBC (database access), JAXP (XML
parsing and transformation), Servlets 2.4, JSP 2.0
(JavaServer Pages), and RMI
The book begins with introductory examples demonstrating
structured and object-oriented programming techniques for
new Java programmers. A special index at the end of the
book makes it easy to look up examples that use a particular
Java class or accomplish a desired task. In between, each
chapter includes exercises that challenge readers and
suggest further avenues for exploration.
