Now in its third edition, Java by Example 1.2 is the book programmers turn to for practical examples of elegant, readable, and maintainable Java code. Updated to cover the new key APIs and enhancements to the JDK 1.2, it includes new chapters on inner classes, reflection and collection classes, and even more of the examples that made the previous editions bestsellers.

Jackson and McClellan illustrate all of the key features of the Java language and show you how to develop both applications and applets. The examples build from the simple to the complex and are carefully annotated to show you how to take advantage of Java 1.2 multithreading, exception handling, security, and networking capabilities.

Step-by-step descriptions lead you through the design and development of a sophisticated application. Along the way you will learn valuable techniques that you can immediately apply to your own projects whether you're creating Web-based applets or robust, client-server applications.

CD-ROM includes source code for all of the examples in the book, ready to run on Solaris™ or Windows.
