The combination of a Java runtime with advanced native tools for Mac OS X and Windows 2000 makes WebObjects an obvious environment for customers needing rapid development of flexible, scalable web applications.

This book provides a comprehensive roadmap to application development and serving with WebObjects by taking you step-by-step through a careful balance of examples and explanations of theory. When you are finished, you will be able to create dynamic applications that allow users to find, view, and modify data from back-end databases, accessible in any browser.

Computer Graphics for Java Programmers, 2nd edition covers elementary concepts in creating and manipulating 2D and 3D graphical objects, covering topics from classic graphics algorithms to perspective drawings and hidden-line elimination.

Completely revised and updated throughout, the second edition of this highly popular textbook contains a host of ready-to-run-programs and worked examples, illuminating general principles and geometric techniques. Ideal for classroom use or self-study, it provides a perfect foundation for programming computer graphics using Java.

The main strategy of this book is to use only out-of-the-box, user contributed modules. So anybody can make a great site. This well thought strategy offers us the following advantages:
1. Easy to update.
2. Anyone can do it.
3. Expansive: at any time, you can install a module safely, to allow additional functionality.

Every function will be explained using the fully integrated case study Drupalfun.
Anyone can build a social networking site with Drupal after reading this book.

Modular Java is a pragmatic guide to developing modular applications using OSGi, the framework for dynamic modularity in Java, and Spring Dynamic Modules, an OSGi extension to the Spring Framework. You’ll start with the basics but quickly ramp up, creating loosely-coupled modules that publish and consume services, and you’ll see how to compose them into larger applications. Along the way, you’ll apply what you learn as you build a complete web application that is made up of several OSGi modules, using Spring-DM to wire those modules together.

Modular Java is filled with tips and tricks that will make you a more proficient OSGi and Spring-DM developer. Equipped with the know-how gained from this book, you’ll be able to develop applications that are more robust and agile.

What you’ll learn
* Get started with the new Java EE 6 Platform from Sun.
* Explore and use the new EJB 3.1 and JPA 2.0 APIs from entities to session beans to message–driven beans, and more.
* Discover the new web–tier development APIs including JSPs, JSTL, and Expression Language, and especially the new JSF 2.0 and Facelets.
* Uncover the new web services, RESTful services, and more available in Java EE 6.
* Create dynamic user interfaces for your enterprise and transactional Java applications.

“Drupal faces a common problem on the Web–the relative lack of new, high quality themes. Front End Drupal tackles this problem directly and is designed to help both experienced designers and rank novices get an understanding of how Drupal theming works. In fact, I’ll be the first to admit I learned a lot from this book.”

– Dries Buytaert, Drupal founder and project lead

*Starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones: You can begin writing programs immediately.
*Describes real problems and solutions, not just language features: You see not only what each feature is, but also how to use it.
*Covers the language and standard library together: You can use the library right from the start.

The authors proved this approach in their professional-education course at Stanford University, where students learned how to write substantial programs on their first day in the classroom.

The pages we build are, for the most part, elements of an overall application that – while being somewhat optimistic as regards consumer buying patterns – does form the basis for the kind of Web site/application that is becoming one of the basic ingredients of the World Wide Web today. We’ll be building a site that allows the user to choose, customize and purchase a new car or truck from the world-famous “Wrox Car Company”
