The last couple of years have seen big changes in server-side web programming. Now it’s the client’s turn; Dojo is the toolkit to make it happen and Mastering Dojo shows you how.

Dojo is a set of client-side JavaScript tools that help you build better web applications. Dojo blurs the line between local, native applications and browser based applications; the browser becomes the user interface platform. “Modern” browsers provide an incomplete, inconvenient, and incompatible programming environment, but Dojo eliminates these problems. While there are many JavaScript libraries available, most focus on just one thing (for example, effects libraries, perceived JavaScript omissions, or HTML widgets). Dojo addresses all of these functional areas-and many others-extensively.

In Mastering Dojo, you’ll get the whole story, from basic usage to advanced idioms. Mastering Dojo starts out with a fast moving
tutorial that will give you techniques that you can start using right away. You’ll learn all about Dojo Core–the foundation on which all things Dojo stand. See how you can modularize your project for development and automatically package your release for optimal download performance. You’ll also learn how Dojo:
augments the core JavaScript library fixes the event system simplifies DOM programming provides a complete classtreeInternet Application. and grid controls. Finally, you’ll get an in-depth look at how to design and build a single-page, rich definition facility includes a powerful remote scripting (XHR) framework … and much more. You’ll love using Dojo’s HTML user interface control widget system, Dijit. See how to use over 40 widgets, including the rich yet easy-to-use

especially appropriate for mature practitioners and students, who need an easily-accessible and to-the-point overview of the Java networking APIs. To me, one of the strongest points of the book is that it?s concise enough to serve as a quick guide and reference to key ?gotchas.? Thus, I think the structure of the book serves audiences who are already good network programmers, or who need a good Java reference, quite well

Java 1.1 introduces several major features to Sun’s Java products, such as Java Beans, JAR files, and more. This book provides good coverage of these new tools and techniques.

Java 1.1 also brings on several changes in the language itself. There are new methods that improve on, and replace, older methods. Sun’s Java compilersource code. generates warnings when a method has been deprecated. The examples in this book have NOT been updated, so you will need another book to teach you to develop proper Java 1.1

This book is a learning book more than a reference. It covers programming techniques that other books frequently skim over. I was impressed with the wide range of topics such as database, network, graphics, CORBA, and JavaScript. I only wish that it presented these topics with Java 1.1 features and techniques.

If you already are familiar with Java 1.1 programming and would like to familiarize yourself with the new Java 1.1 tools, you may find this reference to be helpful.

If you are planning to learn the Java language from this book, then you will be disappointed to learn that some of these programs use old techniques specific to Java 1.0. Java 1.1 introduces several new classes and programming techniques which you will want to know, so consider another book.

Personally, it amazes me to see how many books I have purchased over the years that were thrown together to meet a tight publishers deadline. While this book has many pages of useful information, it is not entirely up to date. Even the CD-ROM comes with the 1.0 version of Java, not the 1.1 version.

I was pleased to see that the entire text of the book is on the CD-ROM, along with the text of other QUE books, Using JavaScript and Using J++. I gave the book an extra point for this feature alone

Use Java CAPS to Streamline IT Services and Leverage Legacy Applications
Design patterns are a useful tool for streamlining enterprise integration and Web development projects: the mission-critical projects that directly impact your competitiveness. Enterprise Integration Patterns by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf (Addison-Wesley, 2004) described many of the most useful patterns for enterprise developers. Until recently, however, implementing the patterns in that classic reference required the extensive use of raw Java code. Now there’s a better alternative: Using Sun’s Java Composite Application Suite (Java CAPS), architects and developers can implement enterprise integration patterns succinctly, elegantly, and completely.
In Java™ CAPS Basics, Sun’s own Java CAPS experts show how to quickly put these new tools and technologies to work in your real-world enterprise application integration projects. After reviewing the challenges of enterprise integration, they introduce Java CAPS and show how it can simplify the development of today’s state-of-the-art “composite” applications. Next, they bridge the gap between abstract pattern languages and practical implementation details. You will learn essential Java CAPS concepts and methods in the context of the patterns you’ll actually use for real-world message and system management.

Coverage includes
Comparing approaches to enterprise application integration and finding ways to integrate non-invasively, with fewer changes and lower costs
Mastering the core integration tools provided by Java CAPS: eGate, eInsight, eWays and JMS
Using enterprise integration patterns to improve application reusability, scalability, resilience, security, and manageability
Implementing patterns for message exchange, correlation, infrastructure, routing, construction, transformation, and endpoints
Generating and using cryptographic objects such as X.509 Certificates, PKCS#12, and JKS Keystores
Using advanced techniques such as solution partitioning and subprocess implementation, many of which are covered nowhere else
Constructing two complete example solutions that bring together many of the patterns discussed and illustrated in this book

All of Java's Input/Output (I/O) facilities are based on streams, which provide simple ways to read and write data of different types. Java provides many different kinds of streams, each with its own application. The universe of streams is divided into four large categories: input streams and output streams, for reading and writing binary data; and readers and writers, for reading and writing textual (character) data. You're almost certainly familiar with the basic kinds of streams – but did you know that there's a CipherInputStream for reading encrypted data? And a ZipOutputStream for automatically compressing data? Do you know how to use buffered streams effectively to make your I/O operations more efficient? Java I/O tells you all you ever need to know about streams – and probably more. A discussion of I/O wouldn't be complete without treatment of character sets and formatting. Java supports the UNICODE standard, which provides definitions for the character sets of most written languages. Consequently, Java is the first programming language that lets you do I/O in virtually any language. Java also provides a sophisticated model for formatting textual and numeric data. Java I/O shows you how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard (but outdated) ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.

Developers must be fluent in basic cryptographic nomenclature and comprehend the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm or architecture before making a final design decision. One of Java's solutions to help bridge the gap between academic research and real-world problem solving comes in the form of an interface and programming tools that provide both a framework and the implementations for encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms.

This set of Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE) has now been integrated into the Java 2 SDK, v. 1.4, making it a crucial tool for developers to understand and use. In Java Cryptography Extensions: Practical Guide for Programmers, the JCE is explored using numerous code examples and instructional detail. It does not delve deeply into mathematical algorithms but instead gives the busy professional the tools to work with the JCE and the ability to write programs in Java right away. A supplemental open-source cryptography toolkit and the sample code is also available online to help those who are new to the JCE understand it through practical application. With this guide, programmers finally have a source that goes beyond the spec and gives them the details necessary for successful cryptography solutions in Java.
