Tricks of the Java Programming Gurus

2010-06-30T11:32:00.000-07:00

At the start of this project, I began by outlining the book that I wanted to read-the book that I wished was already available. I listed things that I wanted to learn about Java: deep topics which weren\'t being covered by the tutorials or reference books which were coming on the market, and questions about how Java could be used for advanced tasks. Editors, friends, and other authors proposed chapters on topics which I had overlooked, and the result, I think, meets my goal. In writing my chapters, and reading the chapters contributed by the other authors, I\'ve learned the answers to the questions I had at the beginning, and many others besides.

The topics covered by Tricks of the Java Programming Gurus fall into three categories:

Advanced use and customization of the core Java API: applets, the AWT, I/O, threads and concurrency, and networking
Building stand-alone applications which use untrusted or partially trusted Java code for dynamic extensibility, just as HotJava does
Use of new or auxiliary Java class libraries and frameworks which make Java useful for working with VRML, client-server systems, relational databases, and persistent object databases.

If you are interested in any of those things-if you want to take Java beyond animated coffee cups and flashy Web pages-you should read this book. It is filled with tricks on both small and large scales: handy snippets of code, complete sample classes, and high-level design strategies designed to help you make the most of Java\'s unique combination of features.

The authors of this book like Java and think that it has tremendous promise, but you won\'t find much breathless hype here. We assume that readers are already familiar with the basics of the Java language and API, and if you know that much, you\'ve heard the claims already. So instead of asking you to sit through that again, we\'ve tried to concentrate on information that you can actually use to bring some of the promises to reality. We have been frank about deficiencies in Java and its libraries, steering you away from problem areas, and warning you about bugs and misfeatures which may need to change in some future version of the libraries. We\'ve also tried to provide some of the knowledge you\'ll need to work around some of the problems on your own.

Java Application Development on Linux

2010-06-30T11:26:00.000-07:00

Why another book on Java? Why a book on Java and Linux? Isn’t Java a platform-independent system? Aren’t there enough books on Java? Can’t I learn everything I need to know from the Web?

No doubt, there are a host of Java books on the market. We didn’t wake up one morning and say, “You know what the world really needs? Another book about Java!” No. What we realized was that there are a couple of “holes” in the Java book market.

First, Linux as a development platform and deployment platform for Java applications has been largely ignored. This is despite the fact that the *nix platform (meaning all UNIX and UNIX-like systems, Linux included) has long been recognized as one of the most programmer-friendly platforms in existence.

Those few resources for Java on Linux that exist emphasize tools to the exclusion of the Java language and APIs.

Second, books on the Java language and APIs have focused on pedagogical examples that serve to illustrate the details of the language and its libraries, but very few of these examples are in themselves practically useful, and they tend to deal only with the issues of writing programs, and not at all with deploying and maintaining them. Anyone who has worked on a major software project, especially a software project that is developed and deployed in a business for a business, knows that designing and coding are only about half of the work involved. Yes, writing Java code is only slightly affected by the development and the deployment platform, but the process of releasing and maintaining such applications is significantly different between platforms.

To address these missing pieces, we decided to cover development and deployment of a Java application that has command-line, GUI, servlet, and enterprise components on a Linux platform. We’re writing the guide book we wish we had had when we started writing and deploying Java applications on Linux. We’re going to show you a simplistic enterprise application, “from cradle to grave,” but along the way cover issues of design process, production environment, setup, administration, and maintenance that few books bother to cover.1

If you are considering buying this book and you are wondering if there is any information in here that you can’t get for free on the Web, then, no. There is not. In fact, there is little information in any Java or Linux book that is not available for free on the Internet. In fact, in each of our chapters we will tell you where on the Web to find virtually all of the information we present, and then some. And yet books continue to sell, and we have the chutzpah to ask you to buy the book. The reason is that Web information is scattered, unorganized, and of highly variable quality. We will be trying to bring all the relevant information together in this book, in a clearly organized manner (and, we would like to believe, at an acceptably high level of quality). We think that has value.

Also, this book is part of the Bruce Perens’ Open Source Series. This book is part of the Web literature. And you may freely read it and use it on the Web. We hope this book will be one of those you use on the Web and buy on paper. We don’t know about you, but we like to use Web books for reference, but for reading, we like books. We own at least three books that are available for free on the Web: Thinking in C++, Thinking in Java, and O’Reilly’s Docbook: The Definitive Guide. We hope that open publishing will be the new model.

Spring by Example

2010-06-30T11:10:00.000-07:00

Spring was not developed in a boardroom and as a result it has a vibrant and sometimes confusing context. This book will first introduce you to the core concepts behind Spring and how Spring will make your life easier (and more interesting!). Spring is built around a few key patterns and some relatively new concepts in Java programming. In this book after the introduction, each article will be based on a working example available from the Spring by Example Subversion repository.

While Spring evolved out of the J2EE realm, in keeping with the idea that Java components should not be tied to a particular architecture, we only require that you have some knowledge of Java and XML in order to understand and make use of most of this book. Although more advanced examples may require some additional knowledge to understand the example fully, but there are references at the end of each example to read more about the subject covered.

Learn Arabic

2010-01-12T09:09:00.000-08:00

ARABIC FOR DUMMIES

Arabic, the official language of over 20 countries, is the mother tongue of over 300 million people. It’s spoken throughout the Middle East, from Morocco to Iraq. Additionally, because Arabic is the language of the Koran and Islam, it’s understood by more than 1.2 billion people across the world. Due to recent geopolitical events, Arabic has catapulted to the top of the list of important world languages. Even in countries where Arabic isn’t the official language, people are scrambling to master this important and vital global language.

For people in North America and Europe, at first glance Arabic seems like a difficult language to master; after all, it isn’t a Romance language and doesn't use the Latin alphabet. However, like any other language, Arabic is governed by a set of rules, and when you master these rules, you’re able to speak

Arabic like a native speaker! Arabic For Dummies is designed to identify and explain the rules that govern

the Arabic language in the easiest and most interactive way possible. Organised each chapter in a straightforward and coherent manner and present the material in an interactive and engaging way.

Like to master this language ?
Here is the book which helps you in mastering this language.

About this Book

Unlike most books on the Arabic language, Arabic For Dummies is designed in a way that gives you the most accurate and in-depth information available on the composition of the language. The book is modular in nature; every chapter is organized in such a way that you don’t have to read the whole book in order to understand the topic that’s discussed. Feel free to jump through chapters and sections to suit your specific needs. Also, every grammatical and linguistic point is explained in plain English so that you can incorporate the concept immediately. Took great care to explain every concept clearly and succinctly. To provide the best foundation and the widest usage for students of Arabic, Arabic For Dummies focuses on Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is the most widely used form of Arabic in the world. There are basically three different
types of Arabic: Koranic Arabic, local dialects, and MSA.
