Java with Visual J++
With the advent of Visual J++ 6.0, the Java programming environment changes substantially and makes most Java references and manuals obsolete. Many of the existing texts are rigorous, but reflect the early interest in Java's applet capability. Now, with the use of applets in Web sites significantly diminished and the emergence of the visual development environment, programmers, information technologists, and computer scientists need a text that addresses the visual development capability and Windows orientation in addition to in-depth coverage of the major concepts and techniques of programming. Java with Visual J++ is just such a text. It serves as an outstanding introductory programming text, and offers an ideal "quick start" to this hot new product for Visual Basic, C, and COBOL programmers who need to make the shift to Java programming. Includes objectives, hands-on exercises, review questions, a list of key words and concepts, and a summary.
