Java Unleashed

Expected to be one of the hottest new technologies on the World Wide Web, Java is a programming language that allows users to add applications to their Web sites, and more. Now, Java Unleashed presents a complete look at Java language and how hot Java applets are being used to enhance Web presentations. Includes a detailed programmer's reference.

"Java P2P Unleashed" provides a single source for Java developers who want to develop P2P systems. The book explains the benefits of each technology and shows how to fit the P2P "pieces" together - both in building new systems and integrating with existing ones. starts with a discussion of the P2P architecture, referencing similarities with existing, familiar systems while previewing several types of P2P applications. It explains how to plan ahead for security, routing, performance and other issues when developing a P2P application. Each technology included in the book - JXTA, Jini, JavaSpaces, J2EE, Web services - is approached from a P2P perspective, focusing on implementation concerns Java developers will face while using them. The last section includes several large-scale examples of different P2P applications - managing content, building communities, integrating services, routing messages, and using intelligent agents to gather information. The final chapter looks ahead to future developments in Java P2P technologies.

This text provides Java developers with in-depth coverage of Web Services technology. It includes contributions from recognised Web Services experts and architects, including the Web Services team at IBM.

Android Programming Unleashed is the most comprehensive and technically sophisticated guide to best-practice Android development with today's powerful new versions of Android: 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Offering the exceptional breadth and depth developers have come to expect from the Unleashed series, it covers everything programmers need to know to develop robust, high-performance Android apps that deliver a superior user experience. Leading developer trainer Bintu Harwani begins with basic UI controls, then progresses to more advanced topics, finally covering how to develop feature rich Android applications that can access Internet-based services and store data. He illuminates each important SDK component through complete, self-contained code examples that show developers the most effective ways to build production-ready code. Coverage includes: understanding the modern Android platform from the developer's standpoint... using widgets, containers, resources, selection widgets, dialogs, and fragments... supporting actions and persistence... incorporating menus, ActionBars, content providers, and databases... integrating media and animations... using web, map, and other services... supporting communication via messaging, contacts, and emails... publishing Android apps, and much more.

The reader will gain a complete understanding of the functionality to be gained by using Visual J++. He will also learn to create Java applications using Visual J++ as his tool. The CD-ROM contains source code and example programs from the book, plus Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1, Trial Edition.

With the release of WebLogic Server 7.0 in June 2002, BEA positioned WebLogic Server as the premier J2EE Web Services development platform. With the next release in late 2002, WLS will integrate WebLogic Workshop and other key tools to provide developers with a stable, market-leading product designed for the next generation of Java applications based on Web Services on the latest J2EE platform. BEA WebLogic Server is the leading J2EE application server, holding almost 40% of the market share in this competitive category. WebLogic Server Unleashedis designed to be the definitive reference work for the WLS developer, offering an in-depth look at the capabilities provided by WLS 7.X and illustrating the best development practices.
