Summary:
Now completely revised for the highly-anticipated Java SE
7 platform, the classic
Core Java™, Volume II–Advanced Features
covers today's best practice techniques for advanced user
interface programming, enterprise Java development, and Rich
Internet Application (RIA) programming with modern Java. Like
Volume I (which covers the core language and library
features), this volume has been extensively updated for Java
SE 7; all new coverage is highlighted throughout. All sample
programs are carefully crafted to illustrate the latest
programming techniques, display best-practice solutions to
real-world problems faced by professional developers, and to
be exceptionally interesting. This edition also reflects
dramatic recent changes to the programming landscape,
including the rapid emergence of RIA and the growing
dominance of web development. Experienced Java developers
will find practical solutions and industrial-strength code
examples to help them take full advantage of these and other
Java's facilities: streams, files, networking, database
programming, XML, JNDI, LDAP, advanced GUIs, security, web
services, internationalization, collections, annotations,
native methods, and more. As in all editions of Core Java,
this book starts at the very beginning of every topic,
walking readers through increasingly difficult programs, and
illuminating every topic with well-designed illustrations and
screen shots. Boilerplate and API tables are placed on the
side, enabling readers to focus on the concept at hand.
For all experienced Java developers working in any
environment on any platform.
