Core Java or Computer Organization and Design

Core Java: Advanced Features, Vol. 2

Author: Cay Horstmann

The revised edition of the classic Core Java™, Volume II–Advanced Features, covers advanced user-interface programming and the enterprise features of the Java SE 6 platform. Like Volume I (which covers the core language and library features), this volume has been updated for Java SE 6 and new coverage is highlighted throughout. All sample programs have been carefully crafted to illustrate the latest programming techniques, displaying best-practices solutions to the types of real-world problems professional developers encounter.

Volume II includes new sections on the StAX API, JDBC 4, compiler API, scripting framework, splash screen and tray APIs, and many other Java SE 6 enhancements. In this book, the authors focus on the more advanced features of the Java language, including complete coverage of 

• Streams and Files
• Networking
• Database programming
• XML
• JNDI and LDAP
• Internationalization
• Advanced GUI components
• Java 2D and advanced AWT
• JavaBeans
• Security
• RMI and Web services
• Collections
• Annotations
• Native methods

For thorough coverage of Java fundamentals–including interfaces and inner classes, GUI programming with Swing, exception handling, generics, collections, and concurrency–look for the eighth edition of Core Java™, Volume I–Fundamentals .
