Designed for programmers with limited Java experience, this informative
guidebook shows how applications, applets, and servlets can be created
with ease using IBM s Rational Application Developer paired with
JavaBeans. Step-by-step guidelines accompanied by screen captures and
code samples demonstrate how to build JavaServer Faces Web applications,
as well as Java applications complete with graphical user interfaces.
Instruction is also provided on using Rational Application Developer s
debugger, incorporating relational databases with Java, and adding
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML behavior to applications in order to
produce more interactive and usable web pages. Exercises at the end of
each chapter ensure that even novice Java programmers will learn how to
combine reusable components to get applications up and running quickly."
