Synopsis

The popularization of the World Wide Web has catapulted the Java language into the limelight. Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented language that was designed to be robust, secure, and to run on a variety of machines and operating systems. Like HTML pages, compiled Java programs are network- and platform-independent. With Java as an extension language, Web browsers can have almost unlimited capabilities. The Java Application Programming Interface describes the libraries that every programmer can use to write Java applications and applets. These two volumes were written by the development team that created the Java API. They are authoritative, accurate, comprehensive, and completely up to date. Volume 1: Core Packages describes the libraries that are the foundation of the Java language. These libraries include java.lang, java.io. java.util, and java.net. These are the general-purpose libraries fundamental to every Java program. Volume 2: Window Toolkit and Applets describes the libraries that you can use to create sophisticated and visually appealing Java applications and applets. In addition, this volume illustrates how you can create embedded programs that can be transported safely across the network. These libraries include java.awt, java.awt.image, java.awt.peer, and java.applet. Every Java programmer who wants to create secure, efficient, portable, and robust applications should have a thorough knowledge of the Java API. 0201634538B04062001
