Shows how Java can be used to build sophisticated network computing applications while minimizing resource requirements, and is intended for information technology professionals. The authors, who work for IBM, explain key mechanisms for building distributed Java applications, including HTTP, RMI, sockets, servlets, and JDBC, and use an imaginary lunar medical station scenario to illustrate techniques. The included CD-ROM contains trial versions of DB2 and Lotus Domino Go, and a full tutorial of VisualAge for Java. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
