This powerful book/CD-Rom package is for C and C++ programmers who would like to quickly learn how to build full-scale application in Java and JavaScript. Revised and expanded from its bestselling predecossor, 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 will 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.

Reader Reviews
The book does a noble attempt at covering all there is about Java 1.2 along with C/C++. The problem is that this selection will definitely not serve as a reference book. There are no API details; only descriptions covering general usage. Along with clear (but useless) examples, you can pick up the details of the functions and their usage. I assume the authors believe you're not too lazy to go through the java docs. Unfortunately, I am lazy. Fortunately, I already know java, and I read this book to collect tidbits on things I may not know about. It DOES cover just about everything from AWT to beans to JFC to security, etc. I recommend this book only if you have additional sources with detailed API usage, and it would definitely help if you know java already (even 1.0).
