JavaBeans for Dummies [Paperback]

Emily A. Vander Veer (Author)

Book Description

Series: For Dummies (Computer/Tech) | Publication Date: April 17, 1997

From programmers to the curious user, this text explains how to programme with Java Beans (an extension of the Java language that links JavaSoft technology with more robust object architectures). It uses simple language to explain a sometimes tricky subject. Teaching Java Bean basics to help programmers hone their Java skills, this book also contains examples and code that are provided to guide readers through the creation of a "bean", as well as the creation of an application composed of multiple beans. There are many beneficial characteristics linked to Java Beans. It's simple for developers to use because of its compact form and it also allows for quicker development, as it enables developers to re-use existing Java applets in the composition of new applications. The attached CD contains a working example code for beans and bean-based applications, complete sample code for each of the listings in the book and a variety of Java Beans supporting visual builders and other tools.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

JavaBeans bring a component model to Java so that you can create and then string together reusable components to build rich applications with relatively little programming. JavaBeans for Dummies explains JavaBeans and how they work in a way that doesn't presume any knowledge of Java or, really, any significant knowledge of programming. Thus the book is especially well suited for someone who wants to learn how to use JavaBeans without delving into the intricacies of Java programming itself. While it superficially covers crucial topics such as introspection, event handling, and persistence, serious programmers may want further depth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good JavaBeans book, October 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: JavaBeans for Dummies (Paperback)

Hi, my name is Laurence Vanhelsuwe and I am the author of Mastering JavaBeans (Sybex, 1997). I've browsed several Beans books in the bookshops of late and the only one that I liked (apart from my own) was Emily's. Her book is very different from mine, but is much better than most of the others I've seen so far.
