Java Collections - John Zukowski
For Java developers of all levels, Java Collections provides a truly indispensable guide to using the built-in collection classes in an...... more
For Java developers of all levels, Java Collections provides a truly indispensable guide to using the built-in collection classes in an extremely clear and well-organised text. This title sets a high standard for a programming reference, one that will be appreciated by a wide range of readers.Although the Java collection classes are not nearly as complicated as the Standard Template Library classes in C++, it can still be a bit daunting to figure out what's included and what's not. Beginning with the simple "historical" Java collection classes (for arrays, Vector, Hashtable and Stack), the author shows you just how to do it with clear reference to useful APIs for each collection type, plus short code snippets showing these APIs in action.The standout feature of this title is its clear presentation of the Java Collection Framework, the built-in set of classes in today's Java 2 standard. Other texts can get muddled with their coverage of these classes, but this one never loses the reader. Starting with the APIs that are available for every collection class, the book builds to show what's available in linked lists and map classes. The author does a great job at avoiding the confusion between different "implementations" of these basic container shapes. (Of course, he does explain the difference between HashMap, WeakHashMap and TreeMap, for example, but not before showing which APIs are common to all map classes.)Beyond choosing and using the right collection class for the job, this text also excels at showing off the built-in algorithms that are available for manipulating collections (for sorting and searching, for example). Advanced sections give advice for defining your own custom collection classes should you need to go beyond the built-in classes. Final chapters look at third-party collection classes (such as the JGL and util.concurrent package) for doing even more.It's the clear focus on understanding and using today's Java collection classes effectively that help make this title a winner. In all, Java Collections is a handy and truly worthwhile guide to using Java collections, something that all Java developers need to master to write effective software. --Richard Dragan ... less

Java Security (Java Series) - Scott Oaks

The second edition of Java Security is intended to help you build and deploy secure Java programs on private and public networks. It covers Java 1.1, Java 2, JCE 1.2.1, JSSE and JAAS (the last two absent from the first edition) and combines coverage of the core Java security features with the three optional security APIs. They will be combined in the next Java release--so you're ahead of the curve. Security has different meanings depending on context. Java's core sandbox security model was originally intended to defeat viruses and trojans. Authentication, encryption and other security models were added to provide different kinds of security. The authors explain how Java components work so they can show how they might be subverted. Without knowing what the risks are you can't apply effective security measures. The Java security features examined include class loaders, cryptography, certificates, key management, signatures, SSL, authentication and permissions. The authors explain where and how particular security features are best implemented and explain their limitations in the real world. For example, many people routinely grant signed Java applets permission to read and write files on their system believing a signed certificate somehow makes the application safe. In practice, as anyone can create and sign a Java applet or application it proves nothing of the kind and can still be setting you up for a fall. Java security is non-trivial. Security is an arms race in which the two sides constantly leapfrog each other. Java Security is well written with many examples but it's a fairly technical read. If you're serious about Java application development, however, you need to read it. Because you can be sure the bad guys will. --Steve Patient ... less

Practical Java Programming Language Guide - Peter Haggar

Most programmers want to be better than they are and, while there are many excellent books on Java, there are few good guides to Java programming style. This one is aimed at those with some Java programming experience and aspirations to becoming a Java guru. To this end, Haggar presents you with code snippets intended to accomplish specific tasks and he invites you to predict the results.This approach is designed to illustrate gotchas, some of which are surprisingly subtle. You use the book interactively: hence the affected decision to use the word Praxis (an archaic version of practice) to differentiate the 68 sections. In Objects and Equality Praxis, Haggar illustrates the differences between using on primitive integer values and on integer references. He then proceeds to show how making assumptions about the way the "equals" method works can cause even stranger--yet still legal--behaviours. Basically, Peter Haggar is teaching you not to make assumptions about the way Java does things. A neat example is the Notify All methods which ensures all waiting threads are woken up. Threads activity is often dependent on the condition of other threads. You might reasonably assume Notify All wakes threads in priority order--but it doesn't. Its action is JVM-dependent.Object- oriented programming is supposed to remove the need to know what's happening behind the scenes--but this is the real world, not a theoretical one. Understanding Java's underpinnings will make you a faster, more efficient, more highly paid programmer and newbies will sit beneath your swivel chair awaiting wisdom. --Steve Patient ... less

The 50th anniversary edition of this classic World War 2 adventure set in south-east Asia. February, 1942: Singapore lies burning and shattered, defenceless before the conquering hordes of the Japanese Army, as the last boat slips out of the harbour into the South China Sea. On board are a desperate group of people, each with a secret to guard, each willing to kill to keep that secret safe. Who or what is the dissolute Englishman, Farnholme? The elegant Dutch planter, Van Effen? The strangely beautiful Eurasian girl, Gudrun? The slave trader, Siran? The smiling and silent Nicholson who is never without his gun? Only one thing is certain: the rotting tramp steamer is a floating death trap, carrying a cargo of human TNT. Dawn sees them far out to sea but with the first murderous dive bombers already aimed at their ship. Thus begins an ordeal few are to survive, a nightmare succession of disasters wrought by the hell-bent Japanese, the unrelenting tropical sun and by the survivors themselves, whose hatred and bitterness divides them one against the other. Written after the acclaimed and phenomenally successful HMS Ulysses and The Guns of Navarone, this was MacLean's third book, and it contains all the hallmarks of those other two classics. Rich with stunning visual imagery, muscular narrative power, brutality, courage and breathtaking excitement, the celebration of the 50th anniversary of South by Java Head offers readers a long-denied chance to enjoy one of the greatest war novels ever written. ... less

Android development is hot, and many programmers are interested in joining the fun. However, because this technology is based on Java, you should first obtain a solid grasp of the Java language and its foundational APIs to improve your chances of succeeding as an Android app developer. After all, you will be busy learning the architecture of an Android app, the various Android-specific APIs, and Android-specific tools. If you do not already know Java fundamentals, you will probably end up with a massive headache from also having to quickly cram those fundamentals into your knowledge base. Learn Java for Android Development teaches programmers of any skill level the essential Java language and foundational Java API skills that must be learned to improve the programmer's chances of succeeding as an Android app developer. Each of the book's 10 chapters provides an exercise section that gives you the opportunity to reinforce your understanding of the chapter's material. Answers to the book's more than 300 exercises are provided in an appendix. Once you complete this book, you will be ready to dive into Android, and you can start that journey by obtaining a copy of Beginning Android 2. What you'll learn * The Java language: This book provides complete coverage of nearly every pre- Java version 7 language feature (native methods are briefly mentioned but not formally covered). Starting with those features related to classes and objects, you progress to object-oriented features related to inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces. You then explore the advanced language features for nested types, packages, static imports, exceptions, assertions, annotations, generics, and enums. Continuing, you investigate strictfp, class literals, synchronized, volatile, the enhanced for loop statement, autoboxing/unboxing, and transient fields. The book also briefly presents most (if not all) of Java version 7's language features, although not much is said about closures or modules (which ... less

At the end of the day, Web Services aren't hard to conceptualise. Implementation is another story, however. Java Web Services does a very good job of dispersing the confusing terminology (and obfuscating hype) and showing you exactly how to do Web Services work in Java. This doesn't sound like a revolutionary concept, but unfortunately it is. David Chappell and Tyler Jewell have comfortably fit into less than 250 pages what others have not done as well in twice as much space. Take Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) work as an example. UDDI exists to help software locate other software that does what it wants. How do you do that? Chappell and Jewell present two concise program listings--a client and a server--that show how to do an UDDI lookup. They then refine their code by using a third-party API that makes the work easier. Similarly pragmatic attention goes to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), in which they show how to create a message, populate it with XML, make an attachment if necessary and send it on its way. You'll not find a lot of frills or conceptual explanations (though there are enough "why" sections to ensure that you're not just typing recipes blindly)--the emphasis is on writing Java code that interacts with Web Services protocols and standards. --David WallTopics covered: how to write Web Services software in Java, with respect to Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and Web Services Description Language (WSDL). There's also coverage of inter-process communication under JAX-RPC and ways to implement security. All the low-level stuff is here. Look elsewhere for architecture and design information. ... less

How well do you really know Java? Are you a code sleuth? Have you ever spent days chasing a bug caused by a trap or pitfall in Java or its libraries? Do you like brainteasers? Then this is the book for you! In the tradition of Effective Javaâ"¢, Bloch and Gafter dive deep into the subtleties of the Java programming language and its core libraries. Illustrated with visually stunning optical illusions, Javaâ"¢ Puzzlers features 95 diabolical puzzles that educate and entertain. Anyone with a working knowledge of Java will understand the puzzles, but even the most seasoned veteran will find them challenging. Most of the puzzles take the form of a short program whose behavior isn't what it seems. Can you figure out what it does? Puzzles are grouped loosely according to the features they use, and detailed solutions follow each puzzle. The solutions go well beyond a simple explanation of the program's behavior--they show you how to avoid the underlying traps and pitfalls for good.... ... less

The original Design Patterns by Gamma, Helm, et al proved a bestseller, spawning a number of derivative titles as well as a new edition. Java Design Patterns takes the 23 patterns created by the original designers and implements them for the benefit of Java programmers. The format in this book is to introduce the pattern with a description of the situation it describes. All the UML diagrams used in the book were created in Jvision and each is implemented as a complete working visual Java program with variations as a Visual Slick Edit project; all of it is supplied on the accompanying CD. The point of patterns is to short-circuit the design process for programmatic problems solved by programmers many times before. What you're doing is taking the program design process up a level: just as classes encapsulate program components, so patterns encapsulate and generalise common interactions between components. For Java programmers, a pattern book using Java makes for a much shorter learning cycle than working from basic patterns or using a book written in a generic metalanguage.The style is laid-back, with the emphasis on practicality rather than theory. This makes it far easier reading than the book it's based on. It is also more relevant to programmers working at the coalface. Patterns are a powerful intellectual tool. Master them and you'll take your game to a new level: this is the book you need to make the climb. --Steve Patient ... less

The Java Developers Almanac 1.4, Volume 1: Examples and Quick Reference: v. 1 (Java (Addison-Wesley)) - Patrick Chan

While Java started out simply enough with relatively few objects and APIs, today's Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE) bundles over 2,100 classes. The Java Developer's Almanac provides a truly valuable reference to nearly all the classes and APIs in standard Java. This "white pages" for Java puts all classes and APIs at your fingertips, along with short samples illustrating essential programming tasks.It's a compliment to say that this title resembles a telephone book. With over 1,000 pages (and printed on similar grade of paper), like a phonebook, The Java Developers Almanac is organised alphabetically. Early sections look at Java 2 classes by package, such as graphics (including Java 2D), file I/O, network programming, AWT and Swing. Early sections include several hundred short code excerpts, which provide key programming solutions.The heart of this text is an A-to-Z compendium of over 2,100 Java classes and a whopping 24,000 methods and properties. Readers get a listing of what's in each class, along with prototype and arguments. As an "almanac" there is no room for explaining what each method does, but by using a clever set of symbols, each listing provides the details of each method (such as which ones are "final," "static" and the like), plus the version of Java in which each method first appeared (JDK 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3). These reference sections set a new standard of clarity for documenting classes. (Method and property names are aligned in the middle of the page regardless of return type, a typographic convention that makes it easy to find what you need quickly.)Later sections provide useful references that list the changes from Java 1.0 through 1.3, as well as Personal Java, the Java Native Interface (JNI), plus some of the details of the Java Virtual Machine (with a listing of byte codes). An innovative index cross-references all methods and classes (including where objects are used as parameters and return values). Truly encyclopaedic and remarkably well organised, this book is a virtual must-have resource for any serious Java developer. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.comTopics covered:Comprehensive reference to Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE) packages, classes and APIs (including 2,100 classes and 24,000 methods), sample code for common programming tasks, working with graphics and images (including Java 2D), playing audio and MIDI files, Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) and Swing components, JDBC database basics, directory programming with JNDI/LDAP, file system and file I/O, using the Java reflection APIs, basic socket, URL and networking in Java. RMI working with Strings, arrays and collections. Unicode, locale and internationalisation support documented changes in JDK 1.0 through JDK 1.3, the Java Native Interface (JNI), classes included in PersonalJava, and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) byte codes. ... less
