Java 1.2 and JavaScript for C and C++ Programmers

This powerful book/CD-ROM package is for C and C++ programmers who would like to quickly learn how to build full-scale applications in Java and JavaScript. Revised and expanded from its bestselling predecessor, Java for C and C++ Programmers, it features the same rapid skill-building format that allows you to produce simple Java programs within an hour, and more complex ones within a few days, by building on C and C++ concepts you already know. You will quickly become familiar with all Java and JavaScript features, including all the major new APIs that you need to create full-scale business applications. Through a series of progressively more complicated working applications, this guide schools you in basic and advanced techniques for building full-blown appplications using Java Foundation Classes, JavaBeans, JDBC, NMI, and RMI. It also covers Java through JDK 1.2, shows how to link Java applets with JavaScript, teaches how to integrate Java with ActiveX, and demonstrates how to integrate video using the Java Media Framework.
