Java Thin-Client Programming - This redbook focuses primarily on topics such as threading, from a Java thin client programming perspective. Also, because these applications are in a multi-user environment, security issues will be covered. The use of CORBA on the network-computing environment is also introduced. Java programming issues, such as object recycling and serialization, are necessary topics to consider when dealing with client/server applications. When an application is developed under the object-oriented paradigm, an introduction to simple concepts of model/view programming techniques will help the reader. Last, but not least, the basics techniques and tools required for profile applications are presented.

Java Thin-Client Programming for a Network Computing Environment - IBM RedBook published in 1998, so not the latest stuff

Introduction to Programming Using Java - This text has more than enough material for a one-semester course, and it also suitable for individuals who want to learn programming on their own. This is the third edition of the text. It covers more material and has more examples than the second edition. It also adds end-of-chapter quizzes and solved programming exercises. Previous editions have been used in a course, Computer Science 124: Introductory Programming, at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Mastering Enterprise Java Beans Second Edition - The bestselling book about "the best thing since the Java language itself" is now completely revised and updated! Renowned authorities on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Ed Roman and his team deliver an indispensable developer's perspective on what is fast becoming the dominant technology for building server-side applications. This Second Edition covers not only the latest features of the major new release of the EJB specification, EJB 2.0, but also expands coverage to include more advanced programming tips and techniques and topics of interest to enterprise developers. Readers will learn everything they need to jumpstart their EJB development, from the basics of EJB architecture to developing transactional, scalable, and secure multiuser enterprise applications.

Java Data Objects - The book is suitable for readers who already know the Java programming language, and wish to learn how to use JDO. No prior experience of JDBC, SQL, J2EE or XML is required. The focus throughout is on using JDO as the persistence layer in an application. A succinct introduction to J2EE is given before the finer details of JDO Integration with J2EE is explained. Naturally, readers with a strong J2EE background will be better placed to position JDO in their distributed architectures than those without.

Jakarta Struts Live - Jakarta Struts Live contains thorough coverage of both the Struts MVC architecture and building each of the Struts components of this architecture. You'll learn to use vital features like Tiles, the Validator, DynaActionForms, plug-ins, and internationalization. You also look at how you can leverage other open-source technologies to improve your Struts development process and experiences.

J2EE and XML Development - J2EE and XML are important technologies in their own right, but applications that use them together benefit from their synergy. Java and J2EE make a powerful platform for building robust application logic. XML facilitates flexible data storage and manipulation. Developers who properly use XML with J2EE develop the most powerful enterprise systems that can be built today.

EJB Design Patterns - The job of the EJB developer is constantly challenging, making the task of designing maintainable and scalable systems difficult without a clear set of best practices to follow. It is with this and other concerns in mind that Floyd Marinescu (Director of TheServerSide.com J2EE Community) worked with thousands of J2EE professionals on TheServerSide to put their collective knowledge together in order to build a library of design patterns, strategies, and best practices for EJB design and development.
