Author Description

Programming the Internet with Java is designed to teach students how to program in Java - in particular, those concepts that relate to the burgeoning arena of Internet technologies. Assuming previous knowledge of programming in a procedural language such as C or Pascal, the book begins with an introduction to Java and the basics of object oriented programming. It progresses onto classes, exceptions, libraries and threads, and teaches the skills to develop complex Java code. Further chapters apply these lessons to Internet programming requirements so that by the end of the book, the student will be familiar with the fundamentals of network programming and database access as well as skilled at developing applets and applications.FeaturesFully revised to include coverage of the Java 1.1 AWT Event ModelNumerous programming examples drawn from appropriate Internet technologies such as firewalls, log files and web crawlersSelf-assessment questions which guide the student through the book and measure progressBoxed out definitions of important Internet conceptsSupporting web site containing new exercises, multiple-choice self-assessment applets, source code anal links to other useful sites.Teaching material (slides and solutions) available on-line
