Advanced Java™ 2 Platform How to Program © 2002 ISBN: 0130895601 Product Info

[Note: We now have a variety of more specific Advanced Topics available based on our text book Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Program (August 2001). For more information please contact us at deitel@deitel.com or 978-823-0130.]

This lecture/lab course with demos includes topics of strong interest to hands-on Java developers. Topics include: Swing GUI components, multithreading and thread synchronization techniques, object-serialization, accessing a database with Java Database Connectivity JDBC, multi-tier distributed computing, enhancing Web server functionality through Servlets, communicating between Java programs with Remote Method Invocation (RMI), the Collections API, and building JavaBeans. The networking part of the course takes a top-down approach in which we cover the highest-level view of networking (Servlets), followed by a lower-level view of networking (RMI) and finishing with TCP/IP-based socket and datagram networking. All graphical user interfaces are presented using Java's Swing GUI components. This course is for Java programmers, who are proficient in the following topics: Java syntax, Java class hierarchy, using the on-line API documentation, applets and the applet life cycle, applications, object-based programming, object-oriented programming (inheritance and polymorphism), simple graphics programming with class Graphics, basic GUI programming (buttons, labels, text fields, etc.) with the abstract windowing tool kit (java.awt package) or Swing (javax.swing package) and exception handling.
