Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The author of the best-selling "Java in a Nutshell" has created an entire book of real-world Java programming examples that you can learn from. If you learn best "by example," this is the book for you.

This third edition covers Java 1.4 and contains 193 complete, practical examples: over 21,900 lines of densely commented, professionally written Java code, covering 20 distinct client-side and server-side APIs. It includes new chapters on the Java Sound API and the New I/O API. The chapters on XML and servlets have been rewritten to cover the latest versions of the specifications and to demonstrate best practices for Java 1.4. New and updated examples throughout the book demonstrate many other new Java features and APIs.

"Java Examples in a Nutshell" is a companion volume to "Java in a Nutshell," "Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell," and "Java Enterprise in a Nutshell," It picks up where those quick references leave off, providing a wealth of examples for both novices and experts. This book doesn't hold your hand; it simply delivers well-commented working examples with succinct explanations to help you learn and explore Java and its APIs.

"Java Examples in a Nutshell" contains examples that demonstrate:

Core APIs, including I/O, New I/O, threads, networking, security, serialization, and reflection

Desktop APIs, highlighting Swing GUIs, Java 2D graphics, preferences, printing, drag-and-drop, JavaBeans, applets, and sound

Enterprise APIs, including JDBC (database access), JAXP (XML parsing and transformation), Servlets 2.4, JSP 2.0 (JavaServer Pages), and RMI

The book begins with introductory examples demonstrating structured and object-oriented programmingtechniques for new Java programmers. A special index at the end of the book makes it easy to look up examples that use a particular Java class or accomplish a desired task. In between, each chapter includes exercises that challenge readers and suggest further avenues for exploration.
