Java Concurrency in Practice

Java Concurrency in Practice
By Brian Goetz, Tim Peierls,&nbspJoshua Bloch, Joseph Bowbeer,&nbspDavid Holmes, Doug Lea,

* Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional
* Number Of Pages: 384
* Publication Date: 2006-05-09
* Sales Rank: 1599
* ISBN / ASIN: 0321349601
* EAN: 9780321349606
* Binding: Paperback
* Manufacturer: Addison-Wesley Professional
* Studio: Addison-Wesley Professional Summary:From the Back Cover

"I was fortunate indeed to have worked with a fantastic team on the design and implementation of the concurrency features added to the Java platform in Java 5.0 and Java 6. Now this same team provides the best explanation yet of these new features, and of concurrency in general. Concurrency is no longer a subject for advanced users only. Every Java developer should read this book."
--Martin Buchholz
JDK Concurrency Czar, Sun Microsystems

"For the past 30 years, computer performance has been driven by Moore's Law; from now on, it will be driven by Amdahl's Law. Writing code that effectively exploits multiple processors can be very challenging. Java Concurrency in Practice provides you with the concepts and techniques needed to write safe and scalable Java programs for today's--and tomorrow's--systems."
--Doron Rajwan
Research Scientist, Intel Corp

"This is the book you need if you're writing--or designing, or debugging, or maintaining, or contemplating--multithreaded Java programs. If you've ever had to synchronize a method and you weren't sure why, you owe it to yourself and your users to read this book, cover to cover."
--Ted Neward
Author of Effective Enterprise Java

"Brian addresses the fundamental issues and complexities of concurrency with uncommon clarity. This book is a must-read for anyone who uses threads and cares about performance."
--Kirk Pepperdine
CTO, JavaPerformanceTuning.com

"This book covers a very deep and subtle topic in a very clear and concise way, making it the perfect Java Concurrency reference manual. Each page is filled with the problems (and solutions!) that programmers struggle with every day. Effectively exploiting concurrency is becoming more and more important now that Moore's Law is delivering more cores but not faster cores, and this book will show you how to do it."
--Dr. Cliff Click
Senior Software Engineer, Azul Systems

"I have a strong interest in concurrency, and have probably written more thread deadlocks and made more synchronization mistakes than most programmers. Brian's book is the most readable on the topic of threading and concurrency in Java, and deals with this difficult subject with a wonderful hands-on approach. This is a book I am recommending to all my readers of The Java Specialists' Newsletter, because it is interesting, useful, and relevant to the problems facing Java developers today."
--Dr. Heinz Kabutz
The Java Specialists' Newsletter

"I've focused a career on simplifying simple problems, but this book ambitiously and effectively works to simplify a complex but critical subject: concurrency. Java Concurrency in Practice is revolutionary in its approach, smooth and easy in style, and timely in its delivery--it's destined to be a very important book."
--Bruce Tate
Author of Beyond Java

"Java Concurrency in Practice is an invaluable compilation of threading know-how for Java developers. I found reading this book intellectually exciting, in part because it is an excellent introduction to Java's concurrency API, but mostly because it captures in a thorough and accessible way expert knowledge on threading not easily found elsewhere."
--Bill Venners
Author of Inside the Java Virtual Machine

Threads are a fundamental part of the Java platform. As multicore processors become the norm, using concurrency effectively becomes essential for building high-performance applications. Java SE 5 and 6 are a huge step forward for the development of concurrent applications, with improvements to the Java Virtual Machine to support high-performance, highly scalable concurrent classes and a rich set of new concurrency building blocks. In Java Concurrency in Practice, the creators of these new facilities explain not only how they work and how to use them, but also the motivation and design patterns behind them.

However, developing, testing, and debugging multithreaded programs can still be very difficult; it is all too easy to create concurrent programs that appear to work, but fail when it matters most: in production, under heavy load. Java Concurrency in Practice arms readers with both the theoretical underpinnings and concrete techniques for building reliable, scalable, maintainable concurrent applications. Rather than simply offering an inventory of concurrency APIs and mechanisms, it provides design rules, patterns, and mental models that make it easier to build concurrent programs that are both correct and performant.

This book covers:

* Basic concepts of concurrency and thread safety
* Techniques for building and composing thread-safe classes
* Using the concurrency building blocks in java.util.concurrent
* Performance optimization dos and don'ts
* Testing concurrent programs
* Advanced topics such as atomic variables, nonblocking algorithms, and the Java Memory Model

J2EE Security for Servlets, EJBs, and Web Services

* Studio: Prentice Hall PTR Summary:
Preface A few years ago, before J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) became such a dominant platform for building enterprise systems and long before Web services became central to the IT1 strategy of every small and big company, I was tasked with helping a small company use one of our products more effectively. This company, which must remain unnamed for reasons of privacy and professional conduct, was setting up an infrastructure for creation of a dynamic and collaborative community of businesses so that their people and systems could exchange digital content and information over the Internet in the most appropriate, secure and timely manner. Our sales and marketing department did a good job in convincing them that our soon to be released product, let us call it ProdX, was built to satisfy exactly the same requirements. After numerous technical meetings and the promise of premium customer status, free technical support, training and unrestricted access to the development team, they agreed to use ProdX. ProdX was built and promoted as a Java-based middleware product suite with a strong and unique security architecture for allowing companies to do business over the Internet. However, few people outside the security development team, a sub-team of the overall ProdX development group, understood this architecture well and even fewer knew how to use its APIs effectively or how to set it up for data center operations. Developers, managers and operations staff of the customer company had numerous meetings, conference calls and e-mail exchanges, either through me or directly with the security development team. And still, they did not feel comfortable. At that time, security wasn't the focus of my primary job and I must confess that I was also having difficulty in comprehending certain aspects of ProdX in the context of its use. Watching these interactions, it became obvious to me that the security team had a sound cryptographic background and were deeply involved in developing state of the art security theory and standards, but had little appreciation of the fact that our customers were more interested in having their developers know what APIs to use, how, when and where to use them and having their operations people know how to work out step-by-step processes and procedures for routine and emergency operations. Eventually, they did get what they wanted and were able to go live with ProdX. However, we all felt that the whole thing took a lot more time and attention than required. Since then I have spent a lot more time working with J2EE-based products and Web services infrastructure software. As an architect, I have also participated in the development of Java standards for Web services, reviewed many software products in these areas and interacted with many customer organizations and listened to their security, performance and other concerns. In the meantime, the Java platform, its security architecture and APIs have continuously evolved and matured. However, none of this has eliminated the gap between what is available and what is in use. I attribute this to many factors. The reality is that some of the technology is new and, at times, quite complex. At the same time, the changing ways of using the Internet for business-critical operations and the increased threat of a security breach have kept practitioners on their toes. This constant churn at both ends has kept the gap alive and kicking. It is the aim of this book to narrow this gap, at least in the area of J2EE-based Web applications. J2SE, J2EE and Application Security The life of a Java professional had never been more fun . Besides the traditional forms of enterprise application and Web application development, the emergence of XML and Web services technologies has resulted in a new Web-based distributed computing paradigm, with its own set of design, development, deployment and operations challenges. This is matched, in almost equal measures, by the growing richness of the Java platform, consisting of both the Standard Edition (J2SE) and the Enterprise Edition (J2EE), making it an apt toolchest for an increasingly complex world. This toolchest has drawers filled with APIs, patterns, tools and conventions for different environments and different needs, waiting to be used at the right place , at the right time , and in the right way . Multiple implementations of the same APIs, sometimes from different vendors but more often freely available from the Open Source Community, allows one to pick the best of breed for a particular purpose. It is this multitude of choice and freedom that makes the life of a Java professional fun. It is often claimed that Java is designed for secure programming from the ground up and security features are not added as an after thought. And indeed, it is quite unique in its ability to declaratively specify what a piece of code can and cannot do. Support for cryptographic operations and public key infrastructure through Java Cryptographic Architecture in J2SE is also quite remarkable. In addition, J2EE defines security characteristics for distributed processing, data access, transactions, management and other such aspects. All this makes Java an excellent platform for constructing secure enterprise applications. Scope of the Book This book is about applying security concepts, techniques, APIs, standards, and tools to identify and address enterprise application security problems within the Java environment. You will find the contents of the book useful for all stages of development lifecycle-;analysis, design, development, deployment, and operations. Personally, I have enjoyed reading books that provide insight into the subject matter with appropriate focus on whys and hows , turning to official standards or product manuals for detailed and highly specific information. I also like to see source code fragments, execution steps and screen shots wherever appropriate, for they tell me exactly what to do to accomplish a desired result. Needless to say, this book has been written with these principles in mind. The main focus of this book is the security of data and information maintained and served by enterprise applications running under J2EE. We accomplish this by identifying what needs to be secured, how and where. Further, we discuss the different mechanisms to accomplish this, covering: Cryptographic concepts and services that are at the heart of many security APIs and features. Public Key Infrastructure that makes cryptography as basis of trust for security applications. Access Control based on the origin of code, signer of the signed code, and/or the credentials of the user running the code. Secure communication of data using Secure Socket Layer, also known as Trasport Layer Security. Integrity, Authentication and Confidentiality of XML messages using XML Signature and Encryption. Security characteristics of RMI-based distributed applications. Securing Servlet and JSP-based Web Applications. Security of EJB-based Enterprise Applications. Security aspects of Web services development, deployment and operation. Enterprise application security in J2EE builds upon the foundation of security concepts and architectures such as Cryptography, Digital Certificates, Public Key Infrastructure, Java security model, Java Cryptographic Architecture and so on. One should be comfortable with these topics to follow the main text. Similarly, one should know about basic Web services interoperability standards such as SOAP and WSDL and the Java programming model for Web services. Not assuming that every reader is current with all these technologies, we cover them briefly, stressing those aspects that are more pertinent for the main subject area. This coverage is more appropriate as a quick refresher than a basic introduction and should be used accordingly. At the same time, we must acknowledge that computer and network security is a vast and expanding field incorporating such diverse topics as cryptography, operating system security, network security, firewalls, computer viruses and anti-virus software, intrusion detection, incident response, vulnerability analysis, biometrics, social engineering, privacy and legal aspects, trusted computing, and so on. Though we recognize the importance of these topics in comprehensive security planning, they are not the focus of this book and hence find only brief overview in the first chapter. We also refrain from getting into details of product specific non-standard security features. The only exceptions are product features that help illustrate a specific point not covered by the standards. Who Should Read this Book This book is primarily written for: Java programmers developing Java applications. System administrators managing J2EE-based applications. Architects evaluating security products from different vendors and architecting secure Java solutions. Project Managers planning, managing and overseeing Java and J2EE projects. Specifically, this book is not targeted at security experts designing security protocols, APIs and products. Intruders looking at devising ways to compromise security will also be disappointed. Organization of the Book This book is organized in three main parts. Part One is more like a refresher on basic security and the Java platform. If you are already familiar with these topics, feel free to move over to Part Two. You could also choose to read certain sections selectively and in any order. Part Two introduces the basic building blocks of the Java platform's security architecture-;APIs for cryptographic operations, Public Key Infrastructure, access control mechanisms, Java Secure Socket Extension for secure communication, and APIs for XML Signature and XML Encryption. A sound understanding of these topics is a must for developing secure enterprise applications. Part Three ties the concepts introduced in Part Two to specific J2EE APIs - RMI, Servlets, EJBs and Web services-;and their security architecture. The emphasis is on getting hands-on exposure to APIs and products, aided by lots of working code.

* Binding: Paperback
* Manufacturer: Addison-Wesley Professional
* Studio: Addison-Wesley Professional Well, I don't think this book deserves 5 stars and here's why:

1) The book provides good description of Class Loaders, reflection and of serialization (I liked them, really) but after that I was expecting to read about, you know, "Component Development", the title of the book ? Like how one divides his application to deployable components, why and when. Nothing about that - author just gave us tools that we can use without providing any further information. But I know Java provides CL, reflection and serialization for many years already - how does it help me to write components ? Where are some real-life examples (besides RMI, EJB and JSP) ?
The chapter about GP (Generative Programming) gives a good description of various approaches about it (and if you know JBoss and it's dynamic invocation stack built with dynamic proxies vs other containers running "rmic" - you understand them even better) but still, I would call this book "Java CL, reflection, serialization and high-level GP overview" - that's exactly the information that I've received from it. Nothing about "component development" besides some basic example in the very beginning.

2) The book spends time and space discussing C++/COM integration with Java and while I understand some will find this information invaluable - I'm sure for most Java developers (and that includes me) this is highly irrelevant.

3) In 2007 it's became outdated in many points as we have Java SE 6 released and 7 upcoming - author only mentions J2SE 1.4.2. Right, many points still hold true but not all of them (does setAccessible(true) allows one to write final fields or not?) and one can never be sure whether what's he's reading is correct today the way it was back in 2001

4) I checked "Java Class File Editor" plugged by the author - it's just a bunch of classes without any documentation (and I've never heard of any bytecode instrumentation guru using this library so it's not of big value after all). So I would call it a "toy project abandoned shortly after

ISBN / ASIN: 0123725070
EAN: 9780123725073
Binding: Paperback
Manufacturer: Morgan Kaufmann
Studio: Morgan Kaufmann

Book Description:
Groovy Programming is an introduction to the Java-based scripting language Groovy. Groovy has much in common with popular scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and Ruby, but is written in a Java-like syntax. And, unlike these other languages, Groovy is sanctioned by the Java community for use on the Java platform. Since it is based on Java, applications written in Groovy can make full use of the Java Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs). This means Groovy can integrate seamlessly with applications written in Java, while avoiding the complexities of the full Java language. This bare-bones structure also means Groovy can be used as an introduction to Java and to programming in general. Its simpler constructions and modern origins make it ideal as a first language and for introducing principles such as object-oriented programming.
This book introduces all the major aspects of Groovy development and emphasizes Groovy's potential as a learning tool. Case studies and exercises are included, along with numerous programming examples. The book begins assuming only a general familiarity with Java programming, and progresses to discuss advanced topics such as GUI builders, Groovlets, Unit Testing, and Groovy SQL.

* The first comprehensive book on Groovy programming that shows how writing applications and scripts for the Java platform is fast and easy

* Written by leading software engineers and acclaimed computing instructors

Concurrent Programming in Java(TM): Design Principles and Pattern (2nd Edition)

ISBN: 0201310090
Author: Doug Lea
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional
Edition: 2 edition (November 5, 1999)
Paperback: 432 pages
Summary:Concurrent Programming in Java, 2nd Edition surveys a wide field of research in parallelism and concurrency and shows how to do more with multithreading in Java with dozens of patterns and design tips. Written for the advanced Java developer, this book offers a comprehensive tour of leading-edge thinking about parallel coding processes.Within the dozens of techniques and tips offered here, this book accomplishes at least two goals. First, it shows how concurrency is implemented by default within Java, with material on how built-in features (like the synchronized keyword and its memory model) can be expected to perform when dealing with multiple threads. Naturally, Java threads themselves are also covered, including priorities, scheduling, and the like.Much of this book looks at ways to improve performance of concurrent code beyond the simple default strategies. After defining criteria for measuring concurrent code (such as safety and "liveness," a measure of running live threads effectively), the book presents dozens of techniques for letting threads work together safely. For the working Java programmer, coverage of patterns that have been implemented in the downloadable java.concurrency package will be the most immediately useful. (Within this nearly encyclopedic survey, short code snippets are used for every pattern and concept.)Though theoretical at times, this book offers plenty of ideas and sample code to get you started thinking of ways to improve multithreaded code.Impressively comprehensive, Concurrent Programming in Java offers a veritable bible of techniques for doing two things at once with threads in Java. It's a worthwhile guide to the state-of-the-art strategies for improving the performance of your Java threads. --Richard DraganTopics covered: Threads and concurrency in Java, design considerations (safety, liveness, and performance), Before/After Patterns, layering, adapters, immutability and synchronization, deadlock, resource ordering, the Java Memory Model and concurrency, using the java.concurrency package, confinement, refactoring for concurrency, mutexes, read-write locks, recovering from failure, notifications, semaphores, latches, exchanges, transactions, one-way messages, worker threads, polling and event-driven I/O, parallelism techniques (fork/join, computation trees, and barriers), Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP).

Java(TM) EE 5 Tutorial

The Java EE 5 Tutorial, Third Edition, is the definitive, task-oriented, example-driven guide to programming server-side applications with Sun Microsystems' new Java(TM) EE 5 platform. Written by members of Sun's Java EE 5 platform team, this book enables new and intermediate Java programmers to build production-quality Java applications right away, as they gain a deep, rich understanding of the entire platform.
This tutorial offers expert guidance on developing presentation layers with the Java EE 5 platform's web tier technologies, using the platform's rich web services support, developing business logic with Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 technology, accessing databases via the Java Persistence API, and leveraging the Java EE 5 platform's powerful services. It contains extensive new material throughout, including detailed introductions to the latest APIs, and instructions for using the NetBeans 5.5 IDE and Sun Java System Application Server 9.
The technologies and services covered in depth include:
— Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0— Java Persistence— JavaServer Faces Technology— Java API for XML-Based Web Services
(JAX-WS)— Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) — Streaming API for XML (StAX)— Java Servlet 2.5— JavaServer Pages
2.1 — JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL)— SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) | PDF | 4,9 Mb | 1360 pages link

The Jini(TM) Specifications

What does Sun's Jini technology mean for the future of distributed computing? To find out, take a look at The Jini Specification, a guide written for IS managers and Java developers alike.
The book starts with what Jini is and how it works. (In short, Jini allows Java clients to invoke remote services easily through Java.) The authors present a chat message server and explain the Jini architecture where clients look up and "lease" remote services.
The heart of this book is its coverage of classes in the Jini specification. First there's an overview of Jini illustrated with a printer service. Then it's a close look at how clients "discover" Jini services, either through multicast or unicast protocols. (The authors also present useful built-in utility classes here.)
Next comes material on storing entries for Jini services (used for identifying them across the network) and the classes used to "lease" remote services. An interesting section on remote events contrasts them with local JavaBean events. Then it's on to Jini transactions, including the two-phase commit process used to manage work done remotely.
Later the book turns to the new JavaSpaces classes, which permit sharing data between Java processes in order to facilitate parallelism. An intriguing appendix reprints a white paper in which the Sun team outlines its philosophy of distributed computing. (They argue that local and remote objects need to be handled differently: object location transparency is a myth.)
With a mix of technology briefing and nuts-and-bolts detail, The Jini Specification delivers a valuable perspective on the latest advance in Java distributed computing from Sun. --Richard Dragan .PDF | 1,2 Mb | 688 pages link

Written as a supplement to the author's , Kim Topley's Core Swing: Advanced Programming delves deeply into several important Java topics. Every experienced Java programmer will find very useful techniques for working with Swing controls and other high-level UI features.The book zeroes in on two aspects of Swing interfaces. First, there are over 500 pages on optimizing your usage of a variety of Swing text controls. The author provides solutions to mimicking native-style operating system support for data validation, numeric input, and special processing with user input. There's also excellent coverage on the extensive support in Swing for loading and displaying HTML. Sections on extending the Swing table control will let you change how table data is displayed and edited (with coverage of custom renderers and cell editors).In addition, this book explores features in Swing that allow you to carry out advanced user interface operations, such as drag-and-drop functionality and undo support. Throughout this text, the author uses short code excerpts that solve problems and showcase brilliant Swing implementations. By concentrating on strategies and solutions, and not just the Swing APIs, the author shows you not only how to solve particular problems but also the underlying Swing design philosophy, so you can take this library even further in your own programs.If anything, this text proves once and for all that Swing is ready to take on native operating systems like Windows with its support for advanced user features. This book delivers some really valuable and impossible-to-find information for any experienced Java programmer who needs to do more with Swing. --Richard DraganTopics covered: Extending Swing text controls, text wrapping and scrolling, manipulating text documents, input validation, text attributes, highlighters and carets, custom views, Swing HTML support classes, viewing HTML, editor kits, cascading style sheets and Swing, bi-directional text for international applications, advanced table features in Swing, custom table renderers, table editing and cell editors, drag-and-drop support in Swing, drag sources and drop targets, using tree controls for file information, undo support in Swing link.

Architecture of Reliable Web Applications Software

9781599041841 (1599041847) Idea Group Publishing 2006 9 MB

This book is concerned with the issues and matters that relate to the reliability, availability, manageability, performance, scalability, and secured-ability of applications, particularly the ones that run over the Web. The importance of studying and exploring such issues is obvious.Shortly after joining IBM Canada in 1997, I was introduced to an early release of the Java programming language, the SUN JDK 1.1.6. At that time, I was a member of the High-Performance Java team whose mission was to develop a tool for compiling the Java platform-independent pseudo code (.class) into platform-dependent executable modules (.exe). The tool was then named “High-Performance Java Accelerator”. Things started well at the beginning; average win over the SUN JDK 1.1.6 was 300% speedup in terms of execution time. However, after SUN released the JDK 1.1.8, the previous win vanished. The average win of the accelerator-produced executables over the JDK 1.1.8 could not exceed the 10% speedup margin. That loss was simply due to the tremendous improvement made by SUN on their Java Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. As a result, IBM decided to discontinue the project, but continued to support the few customers who leased licenses of the accelerator shortly after its release at the JDK 1.1.6 level link

JavaServer Faces promises to bring rapid user-interface development to server-side Java. It allows developers to painlessly write server-side applications without worrying about the complexities of dealing with browsers and Web servers. It also
automates low-level, boring details like control flow and moving code between web forms and business logic.

JavaServer Faces was designed to support drag and drop development of server-side applications," but you can also think of it as a conceptual layer on top of servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP). Experienced JSP developers will find that JavaServer Faces provides much of the plumbing that they currently have to implement by hand. If you already use a server-side framework such as Struts, you will find that JavaServers Faces uses a similar architecture, but is more flexible and extensible.

JavaServer Faces also comes with server-side components and an event model, which are fundamentally similar to the same concepts in Swing.JavaServer Faces is quickly becoming the standard Web-application framework. Core JavaServer Faces is the one book you need
to master this powerful and time-saving technology.

Without assuming knowledge of JSP and servlets, Core JavaServer Faces: * shows how to build more robust applications and avoid tedious handcoding * answers questions most developers don't even know to ask * demonstrates how to use JSF with Tiles to build consistent user interfaces automatically * provides hints, tips, and explicit "how-to" information that allows you to quickly become more productive * explains how to integrate JSF with databases, use directory services, wireless apps, and Web services * teaches best practices and good habits like using style sheets and message bundles * covers all of the JSF tags and how to create new tag libraries link

Java Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz

Java Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz (Author), Tim Peierls (Author), Joshua Bloch (Author), Joseph Bowbeer (Author),

Threads are a fundamental part of the Java platform. As multicore processors become the norm, using concurrency effectively becomes essential for building high-performance applications. Java SE 5 and 6 are a huge step forward for the development of
concurrent applications, with improvements to the Java Virtual Machine to support high-performance, highly scalable concurrent classes and a rich set of new concurrency building blocks. In Java Concurrency in Practice, the creators of these new facilities explain not only how they work and how to use them, but also the motivation and design patterns behind them.
However, developing, testing, and debugging multithreaded programs can still be very difficult; it is all too easy to create concurrent programs that appear to work, but fail when it matters most: in production, under heavy load.

Java Concurrency in Practice arms readers with both the theoretical underpinnings and concrete techniques for building reliable, scalable, maintainable concurrent applications. Rather than simply offering an inventory of concurrency APIs and mechanisms, it
provides design rules, patterns, and mental models that make it easier to build concurrent programs that are both correct and performant.

This book covers:
Basic concepts of concurrency and thread safety Techniques for building and composing thread-safe classes Using the concurrency building blocks in java.util.concurrent Performance optimization dos and don'ts Testing concurrent programs Advanced topics such as atomic variables, nonblocking algorithms, and the Java Memory Model link

Easy Ajax with the Google Web ToolkitManning

GWT in Action: Easy Ajax with the Google Web ToolkitManning Publications 2007 PDF 600p 16MB RS FF

The Google Web Toolkit is a new technology that automatically translates Java into JavaScript, making Ajax applications easier to code and deploy. GWT in Action is a comprehensive tutorial for Java developers interested in building the next generation of rich, web-based applications. This book was written by Robert Hanson, creator of the popular GWT Widget Library
and Adam Tacy a major contributor to the GWT Widget Library. There is a new emphasis on building rich, web-based applications. These applications can be difficult to build because they
rely on JavaScript, which lacks the sophisticated object-oriented structures and static typing of Java, they are tricky to debug, and they require you to manage numerous browser inconsistencies.

In May of 2006 Google released the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWT enables developers to create Ajax applications in Java. With GWT, you can build your applications using a real object-oriented language and take advantage of Java tools like Eclipse that
are already available. Instead of trying to bring tool support to Ajax, Google brought Ajax to a place where the tools already existed.

GWT in Action shows you how to take advantage of these exciting new tools. Readers will follow an example running throughout the book and quickly master the basics of GWT: widgets, panels, and event handling. The book covers the full development cycle, from setting up your development environment, to building the application, then deploying it to the web server. The
entire core GWT library is discussed, with details and examples on how it can be extended.
GWT helps you make the most of Ajax in your web applications and GWT in Action helps you get more out of GWT.

Data Structures & Algorithms in Java by Robert LaforeSams

Data Structures & Algorithms in Java by Robert LaforeSams 526 pages PDF 3,127 Kb

Once you've learned to program, you run into real-world problems that require more than a programming language alone to solve. Data Structures and Algorithms in Java is a gentle immersion into the most practical ways to make data do what you want it to do. Lafore's relaxed mastery of the techniques comes through as though he's chatting with the reader over lunch,
gesturing toward appealing graphics.

The book starts at the very beginning with data structures and algorithms, but assumes
the reader understands a language such as Java or C++. Examples are given in Java to keep them free of explicit pointers.

This book is about data structures and algorithms as used in computer programming. Data structures are ways in which data is arranged in your computer's memory (or stored on disk). Algorithms are the procedures a software program uses to manipulate
the data in these structures.

Almost every computer program, even a simple one, uses data structures and algorithms. For
example, consider a program that prints address labels. The program might use an array containing the addresses to be printed, and a simple for loop to step through the array, printing each address. The array in this example is a data structure, and the for loop, used for sequential access to the array, executes a simple algorithm. For uncomplicated programs
with small amounts of data, such a simple approach might be all you need. However, for programs that handle even moderately large amounts of data, or that solve problems that are slightly out of the ordinary, more sophisticated techniques are necessary. Simply knowing the syntax of a computer language such as Java or C++ isn't enough.

This book is about what you need to know after you've learned a programming language. The material we cover here is typically taught in colleges and universities as a second-year course in computer science, after a student has mastered the fundamentals of programming. link
