This is the next book for the Core Java market. The text concentrates on the more advanced features of the Java programming environment, such as O-O design and analysis of Java programs, implementing callbacks, enhancing the Java Toolkit, meta-programming in Java and more. This is not a book for novices! The CD-ROM includes extensive code examples, a visual debugger, an AWT alternative, and even a C++ to Java translator.

From the Publisher:

A guide to the more advanced features of Java. For advanced programmers, this may be the most sophisticated Java book on the market. This book covers a wide variety of advanced Java topics and techniques that are rarely discussed elsewhere. These include object-oriented analysis and design with Java, metaprogramming techniques, building Java debuggers, Java interprocess and inter-thread communications, 3D modeling, implementing generic data structures, and techniques for accessing third-party libraries. The author identifies inconsistencies and pitfalls in Java, helps identify ways to optimize Java code for faster performance, and provides well-reasoned answers for the questions that advanced Java programmers encounter. The CD-ROM includes C2j, software for automatically translating C++ code to Java; the Ltk toolkit, a lightweight alternative to AWT, and a visual debugger developed especially for this book.
