Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

As the title implies, Web Programming with Java aims to teach you applet programming for the World Wide Web rather than how to create stand-alone Java applications. It assumes that you have some programming skills, although experience using object-oriented design is not required. The book begins by covering Java language basics and introducing the Java class libraries. The second section moves on to the Abstract Windows Toolkit (AWT), graphics, exception handling, and other core concepts. Once you're armed with these tools, the authors take you through the creation of an order entry system applet, starting with a bare-bones program and progressively adding functionality. The final part of the book deals with more advanced Java techniques such as network programming, utility classes, and multithreading. Additional chapters touch on security issues, advanced graphics, database applications, and game applets. The CD-ROM includes the JavaSoft Java Developer's Kit (JDK) v. 1.0.2 for Solaris, Windows 95/NT, and Macintosh. A Web site supporting the book is also available. If you're interested in mastering the life cycle of an applet, from conception to loading it onto a Web page, Web Programming with Java is a good pick.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good starter, with some reservations, February 26, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Programming With Java (Paperback)
My main gripe about this book has to be the formatting of the code samples, at least in the first half of the book. It made them, for me, at least, almost completely unusable.

Has the same problems as any book thrown together by a bunch of different people, some chapters are clearer/better/more advanced than others.

It was my first introduction to Java. Not a bad book to start on, though I understand there are many better. The second half was in most respects a lot better than the first, and made up for a rather shaky start.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best book for everyone in Java!, May 13, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Programming With Java (Paperback)
This book is amazing. As a college student, I found Web Programming with Java to be just what I needed. The writing provides personality to a dry subject. Programming is made fun using the techniques specified in Web Programming with Java. I encourage everyone, from beginner to expert, to buy this book and gain a terrific understanding about Java, programming, life, love, Zen Buddhism, and how to scam chicks on the Internet
