DESCRIPTION
The meteoric rise of interest in Java, and the simultaneous rise in Java-related hype, make this book's no-nonsense evaluation essential reading for all levels of professionals, from managers to programmers. Making Sense of Java clearly and concisely explains the concepts, features, benefits, potential, and limitations of Java. It is not a programmer's how-to guide and assumes little technical knowledge, though software developers will find this lucid overview to be a valuable introduction to the possible uses and capabilities of Java.
What's inside:
- How Java's features and functionality stack up against the competition
- Java applets and their impact on the Internet
- Will Java become a general-purpose programming language?
- Performance, productivity, and security issues
- Copyrights, patents, and intellectual rights
- Supporting software and technologies
- The future of Java
