The first book to apply the wisdom of six disciplines - logic, mathematics, psychology, safety analysis, computer science, and engineering - to the problem of debugging.

The rapid rise of PC-based cameras has lead to the enormous growth of software applications that use real-time video programming. These applications include video conferencing, computer games, scientific research, automated security and surveillance, industrial inspection, and Web cameras. Previously, developers had to search through manufacturer manuals or research papers in computer vision or image processing to learn how to program devices for these applications.

Das Google Web Toolkit (GWT) ist eine neue Technologie von Google, die Java automatisch in JavaScript übersetzt. Damit wird das Erstellen und Deployen von Ajax-Anwendungen noch leichter. Mit dieser Entwicklung hat Google Ajax dahin gebracht, bestehende Tools zu nutzen - anstatt neue Tools für Ajax zu schaffen. Dieses Buch ist ein umfassendes Tutorial für Java-Entwickler, die die neue Generation von großen, webbasierten Applikationen bauen wollen. Die Autoren dieses Buches sind Robert Hanson, der Erfinder der beliebten GWT Widget Library, und Adam Tacy, der wichtige Beiträge zur GWT Widget Library geleistet hat. Sie zeigen anhand vieler Beispiele, wie man dieses begeisternde Tool vorteilhaft einsetzen kann. Der Leser steigt in das Thema ein, indem er mit Hilfe der Autoren eine funktionierende WT-Anwendung erstellt. Das Buch deckt den ganzen Entwicklungszyklus vom Aufsetzen der Entwicklungsumgebung über das Erstellen der Applikation und das Deployment auf dem Web-Server ab. Der Kern der GWT Library wird ausführlich vorgestellt, Möglichkeiten der Erweiterung werden gezeigt. Im Internet: Der Sourcecode der Beispiele aus dem Buch. Ein Buch für alle Java- und AJAX-Programmierer.

Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge.

New editions of the platform don't happen that frequently, but when they do, there is a lot to learn about quickly. If you want to come up to speed on the new feature set as quickly as possible, Java 6 Platform Revealed will place you well ahead of the pack. You'll find ten chapters of how to use the latest JSR implementations and library improvements that are now a part of Mustang.

A small surprise under cut!

The first part of the book will discuss SOA basics and NetBeans fundamentals. It will also highlight the Enterprise pack capabilities and the available visual designers. The second part of the book will attempt to build a complete sample business application.

This book is aimed at programmers who have learned the basics of Java from, for example, Beginning Java 1.4: From Novice to Professional, and are now ready to learn how to use Java in the real world, with J2EE. But, J2EE is a big spec, and the target audience is not interested in Enterprise JavaBeans and other advanced specs within J2EE. In fact, 75% of J2EE applications are built using only JavaServer Pages and Servlets (two of the simpler technologies to learn in J2EE), so these are the areas that the audience is particularly interested in.
