JBuilder Developer's Guide provides comprehensive coverage of JBuilder from the practitioner's viewpoint. The authors develop a consolidated application throughout the chapters, allowing conceptual cohesion and illustrating the use of JBuilder to build 'real-world' applications. The examples can be compiled and run under JBuilder Personal edition, a free edition of JBuilder. JBuilder Developer's Guide is not version specific but explains the latest JBuilder 6, 7, and 8 features such as enterprise J2EE application development, CORBA, SOAP, XML tools, Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages/Servlets, and JavaBeans technology. JBuilder repeatedly wins "developer's choice" awards as the best visual tool for developing Java applications.
JBuilder Developer’s Guide is written for experienced programmers at the intermediate level or above. It leverages JBuilder’s capability to build quality Java code in a fraction of the time.
You will need to have a working knowledge of the Java 2 platform and will need to be running JBuilder 6, 7, or 8 Enterprise edition with the Borland Enterprise Server installed. Although most of the examples in this book will work on JBuilder 6, 7, and 8 standard editions, some of the more advanced topics and features, such as Java Server Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans, and CORBA, will work only on JBuilder Enterprise versions. In addition, some of the menu options and features will only be available in the JBuilder 7 and later versions.
Most of the source code presented in this book has been executed on the Windows version of JBuilder 7 and JBuilder 8, but it should also work on other platforms.
