Since the Java programming language was introduced in Spring '96, it has become an important programming language for Web development. Now the release of Java 1.2 in September '98 transforms Java into an industrial-strength language, taking on C and C++ as the language of choice for enterprise-level programming. Droves of programmers will learn Java 1.2 because not only will it be as powerful as C/C++ for enterprise programming, but it's a lot easier, faster, and more flexible to program. These C/C++ programmers will want to learn Java 1.2 "the Daconta way" because it lets them learn quickly using concepts they already know. This Java 1.2, revised edition, keeps the same proven method for teaching Java to C/C++ programmers, but covers the full, final release of Java 1.2. New sections cover protected domains, reference objects, collections, package versions, and drag and drop. It extensively updates coverage of JavaBeans, JFRCs, RMI, Java2D, security, and Java database technology. The CD includes all of the source code examples contained in the book and includes useful scripts and utilities.
