Password strength is the topic of chapter five, but a lot of space is devoted to code for a cracking program. Scripts, and some of the ways they can be used maliciously, are mentioned in chapter six. Chapter seven examines some of the ways that the use of dynamic link libraries can aff... Rest of this review on the detail page

Learning Java Through Applications emphasizes Java’s graphical capabilities and the ability to create graphical user interfaces. The book uses 15 complete Java programs in order of increasing complexity, including geometric patterns, games, puzzles, number theory problems, and cryptography, to teach students the Java programming language and concepts. New features of Java 5.0 are covered in detail, including enumerated types, "for-each" statements, generics, autoboxing, and static imports. Each chapter contains a capstone program that involves graphics and illustrates the language features introduced in that chapter. The specifications for the program are discussed first, followed by the code and its explanatory text emphasizing the pr... Rest of this review on the detail page
