Bringing Focused, Supremely Practical Code up to Java 1.4 Standards
O'Reilly Releases "Java Examples in a Nutshell, Third Edition"

Sebastopol, CA--Many a developer has been hesitant to implement Java 2
Version 1.4, daunted by the complexity of the language and the
overwhelming number of APIs. Fear no more: "Java Examples in a Nutshell,
Third Edition" (O'Reilly, US $39.95) by David Flanagan provides a wealth
of practical code examples that show developers the full range of what is
possible with Java today.

In this new edition, best-selling author David Flanagan has added coverage
of regular expressions (new to the core Java API), updated Java
internationalization information, and included extensive coverage of the
new Java GUI features. "Java Examples in a Nutshell" is the perfect
companion volume to Flanagan's other books, including the best-selling
"Java in a Nutshell," "Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell," and "Java
Enterprise in a Nutshell." "I wrote 'Java Examples in a Nutshell' to pick
up where those books leave off, providing a suite of complete working
examples, ready to compile and run, suitable for novice Java programmers
and experts alike," says Flanagan.

His comprehensive new third edition demystifies Java 1.4 (including
assertions, logging, preferences, SSL, and more) and contains 193
complete, practical examples--more than 21,900 lines of densely commented,
professionally written Java code covering 20 distinct client-side and
server-side APIs. It includes all-new coverage of the New I/O and Java
Sound APIs and completely rewritten chapters on XML and servlets to
incorporate the latest versions of the specifications and to demonstrate
best practices for Java 1.4.

"Java Examples in a Nutshell" contains both new and updated working
examples with succinct and accessible explanations covering:

-Core APIs, including I/O, New I/O, threads, networking, security,
serialization, and reflection
-Desktop APIs, highlighting Swing GUIs, Java 2D graphics, preferences,
printing, drag-and-drop, JavaBeans, applets, and sound
-Enterprise APIs, including JDBC (database access), JAXP (XML parsing and
transformation), Servlets 2.4, JSP 2.0 (JavaServer Pages), and RMI

This essential, learn-as-you-go tutorial invites new and seasoned Java
developers to let go of worries about the complexity and sophistication of
Java 1.4 and simply jump in and try effective new programming techniques
and code. From the introductory examples demonstrating structured and
object-oriented programming techniques to the unique and convenient
"Example Index" in the very last chapter (where one can look up a class,
method, or programming topic to find relevant examples), the content in
the new edition of "Java Examples in a Nutshell" won't disappoint.

Praise for the previous edition:

"An excellent book and a superb learning aid for Java programmers at any
level."
--Elizabeth Zinkann, Sys Admin, March 2001

"Another fine example of the O'Reilly style of writing...If you take the
time to work through this book, you should come out with a very good
understanding of Java, JavaBeans, Applets, Servlets, JSP and XML and its
uses for Web Designing. As technology moves into the use of these, this
would be a book you wouldn't want to miss. I rate this book a 10."
--Barbara Rhoades, St. Louis Web Developers and Web Designers
Organization, January 2001

"An outstanding collection of code samples that are designed to help you
improve your programming skills--by studying code that works. With over
150 expert examples that illustrate a wide range of Java APIs, this volume
definitely can bring your knowledge of Java to the next level. This is a
worthy and up-to-date resource for all levels of Java programmers."
--Richard Dragan, Amazon.com Delivers Computer Programming, November 2000
