Amazon.co.uk Review
This weighty volume is packed with all the details you need to produce effective real world applets and applications in Visual J++. Written for the seasoned professional, this is a no-frills guide that goes as deep into the subject as you want to go, from the fundamentals of Java, through multi-threading, manipulation of the core frameworks and GUI building, right up to programming entire databases in Java.
The book gets right into the heart (and code) of the matter in a way that will leave non-programmers bewildered. Professional developers however, will love the lack of fluff and non-relevant information that often pads out programming guides such as this. The format is subject-orientated with each chapter describing a particular programming technique or API and the how, why and where of programming in Visual J++. There are no set "tasks" to complete and the author makes it quite clear that you will most certainly not learn it in 24 hours.
The book also shows you how to integrate your Java code using Microsoft's extensions to the language and platform, such as Active X, OLE DB, COM/DCOM, WFC Components and WFC component model.
