The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Writing Java Applets: Master the Art of Creating Distributed Internet Programs':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
In the introduction, Rodley says that his book is not just about applet programming, but applies equally to Java programming in general. In chapter one, he says that the book is not about Java programming, but about writing applets. The explanation of this apparent contradiction defines the book. Rodley has not written an introduction to Java. He assumes that the reader is already familiar, and possibly well versed, with the Java language and Java programming. Thus the structure, variable types, operators, flow control, and object orientation of Java are not emphasized. The applet class, AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit), network communication, downloadable classes, and security aspects are covered in detail. As the author points out, though, all of these functions are applicable to Java programming in general, and are of benefit even to the "non-net" Java programmer. It is ironic that the paragraph, in the introduction, which commits to ongoing support for the book and asks for help in finding any bugs should contain the greatest density of typographical errors in the book. Sample code is used very heavily and, unfortunately, is affected by some typos. These should be obvious to those who know the language. They do not, undoubtedly, appear on the code on the CD-ROM. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
