JBuilder 3 Unleashed

JBuilder 3 Unleashed naturally covers the JBuilder user interface, but the authors don't explain interface elements for their own sake. Rather, they explain the JBuilder interface in the context of doing certain Java programming jobs. Subjects include some fairly exotic aspects of the Java language, including elaborate user interface design, multithreading, internationalization, and client/server architecture.

Coverage of programming JavaBeans (and especially serialization as it applies to Beans) with JBuilder is exemplary, as are the sections on Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and CORBA. In addition to their coverage of the mechanics of JBuilder and Java, the authors include quite a bit of management and engineering information on using Borland's development environment as the centerpiece of a development team, including versioning, testing, and object-oriented analysis and design. .
JBuilder 3 Unleashed is designed to help intermediate to advanced level Java developers obtain the information and techniques needed to create mission critical JBuilder applications. The book picks up where most JBuilder books leave off and provides the information needed by developers to create robust and maintainable JBuilder Client/Server and multi-tier applications. Topics covered include: Advanced object-oriented design and programming techniques in Java, Enterprise JavaBeans, Serialization, Threading, NMI, Multi-tier development: implementation of applications and applets, RMI, CORBA, Enprise's MIDAS technology, N-tier, Application Development, Source code control, Deployment.

• Addresses the advanced-level needs of the JBuilder user
• Provides the information needed by developers to create robust, mission critical, multi-tier applications
