Java is fast becoming the programming language of choice for distributed application development. Its unique, powerful environment lets you program interactivity, animation, sound, multimedia, and more for cross-platform use. Developing Professional Java Applets is written for the professional developer who wants to develop powerful Java programs. With this book, you'll learn to master all of the advanced features of Java applet development-techniques like how to use native methods to interface Java with ODBC databases and programming client/server sockets and your own Java HTTP server. You'll also get detailed coverage of the AWT package, threads, streams, and exception handling. Several included work-through projects show you how to create a spreadsheet applet, a catalog applet, and an applet using live data.
