Book Description
Charlie Calvert’s Learn JBuilder is an introduction and examination of JBuilder for intermediate-level programmers. The book covers the JBuilder IDE, including an overview of visual development, the editor, and the debugger. The primary goal is to explain the technology in a clear, concise, and readable manner, as well as to give developers the knowledge they need to take advantage of JBuilder’s many tools.
Development of applications, applets, JavaBeans, and databases are all covered in depth. The authors also explain how JBuilder can help developers work with Swing components, layout managers, event handlers, interfaces, and other core features of the Java SDK, and provide significant coverage of integrating open source tools such as CVS, JUnit, and Ant into the JBuilder development cycle.
The book is written with equal consideration to development in Linux and Windows with specific and detailed attention given to the Personal and SE versions of JBuilder.
The companion CD includes code and examples discussed in the book. The code takes advantage of the latest features in JDK 1.4.
