    JAVA

Based on Microsoft's Visual J++, version 6.0, this book covers both conventional console applications as well as Web-based applets.

Its balanced presentation targets the true beginner, combining both a laboratory-oriented approach and theoretical discussions to develop a deep, usable understanding. Coverage concentrates solely on console applications and browser applets —console applications because they provide the purest form of Java programming without the distractions and special techniques required of more elaborate environments; and browser applets because of their ability to bring the Internet alive and provide a relatively painless entry into the world of the GUI (Graphics User Interface). The book's wide range of topics within these areas ranges from simple classes and objects, to file I/O and linked lists, to external events and applet animation—covering the essentials of J++ deeply and thoroughly, with many minor details or advanced topics merely mentioned or omitted. Also included are discussions on basic page design—including HTML and hot-links—structured programming techniques, and optional review chapters on the C language.
