Introduction to Java Programming
This book covers the major topics in Java programming, including programming structures, methods, objects, classes, inheritance, graphics programming, applets, exception handling, internationalization, multithreading, multimedia, I/Q, and networking. Based completely on Java 2, the graphics' examples are built using Swing components, tested using Java 2 on Windows and on Sun Solaris using no depreciated API. The source code for all examples can be found on the companion CD-ROM, which also contains JBuilder 3 University Edition. The overall objective of this book is to teach the reader how to use many levels of abstraction to solve problems, both small and large. Teaches programming concepts and techniques as well as the Java language. Provides modern graphics programming using Swing components. Includes good representative examples that can run in stand-alone applications or applets and coverage of new JBuilder 3 features.

Introduction Using Java
This text is focused on teaching Java as a first language using two principles: First, students learn best when they see and appreciate an immediate need. Second, students learn best by doing and experiencing. In the first few chapters, the book starts with a breadth-first approach. Students learn one way to do I/O, one variable type, one way to do a condition, and one loop statement. Quickly, students begin coding useful and interesting programs with this subset of Java. Taking a spiral approach, the author introduces a concept or method in simplified form and gradually, as the need for more capability is demonstrated, expands upon it until the full concept is presented. Chapters are teaching units, not topic units, and the text avoids teaching mechanisms and concepts that allow errors students are not yet ready to understand. Students gain confidence and are excited to learn more as the course progresses.

Introduction with Java & Smalltalk
Didier Besset's Object-Oriented Implementation of Numerical Methods offers a wide-ranging set of objects for common numerical algorithms. Written for the math-literate Java and Smalltalk programmer, this volume demonstrates that both languages can be used to tackle common numerical calculations easily. This title bridges the gap between pure algorithms and object design. By tackling issues like class design, interfaces, and overcoming floating-point rounding errors in both Java and Smalltalk, the code can be used as-is or as a model for your own custom numerical classes. Topics covered include: Introduction to numerical methods and objects in Java and Smalltalk; Numerical precision and rounding errors; Comparing floating-point numbers; Functions in Smalltalk and Java; Evaluating polynomials; The error, gamma, and beta functions; Interpolation algorithms (Lagrange, Newton, Neville, Burlirsch-Stoer, and cubic spline interpolations); and more.

J2EE Unleashed
J2EE Unleashed presents techniques and examples for building applications based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition development model. The goal of this book is not to teach the J2EE specification but to illustrate the best practices for developing J2EE applications. It will cover the most commonly used J2EE API's as well as migration techniques that can be used to port a J2EE application from one platform to another. The book will discuss all of these platforms with an emphasis on the SilverStream application server, which is J2EE compliant and certified for Windows and several UNIX platforms. Moreover, the book will illustrate how a J2EE application can interface with most SQL based DBMS platforms including ORACLE, INFORMIX, Microsoft SQL Server 7, SYBASE, IBM DB2 as well as others. Unleash the power of J2EE by applying the expert advice and techniques of Joe Bambara, Paul Allen, and the Java developer team.
