As an experienced developer on the JavaTM platform, you
undoubtedly know how fast moving and comprehensive the platform is.
Its many
application programming interfaces (APIs) provide a wealth of functionality
for all aspects of application and system-level programming. Real-world
developers never use one or two APIs to solve a problem, but bring together
key functionality spanning a number of APIs. Knowing which APIs you need,
which parts of which APIs you need, and how the APIs work together to create
the best solution can be a daunting task.
To help you navigate the Java APIs and fast-track your project development
time, this book includes the design, development, test, and deployment phases
for an enterprise-worthy auction application. While the example
application does not cover every possible programming scenario, it explores
many common situations and the discussions leave you with a solid methodology
for designing and building your own solutions.
This book is for developers with more than a beginning level of
understanding of writing programs in the Java programming language.
The example application is written
with the Java® 2 platform APIs and explained in
terms of functional hows and whys, so if you need help installing the Java
platform, setting up your environment, or getting your first application to
work, you should first read a more introductory book such as
Java
Programming Language Basics or
The
Java Tutorial.
