Professional Java Programming builds upon Ivor Horton's Beginning Java to provide the reader with an understanding of how professionals use Java to develop software solutions. Pro Java Programming starts with an overview of best methods and tools for developing Java applications. It then examines the more sophisticated and nuanced parts of the Java SDK. The final and most extensive part of the book shows how to implement these ideas to build real-world applications, using both Java APIs as well as related Java open source tools. In short, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of the professional Java development process, without losing focus in exhaustive coverage of isolated features and APIs.This new edition (about 35% new and revised) is fully updated to cover the JDK 6 release. Updates cover:· New web services APIs· The next JDBC API· Generics· Metadata facility enhancements· Scripting, which will be more tightly integrated with the Java language· Updates to related tools (e.g., Hibernate), which have added new features for improved functioning with JDK 6
