Using and Understanding Java Data Objects is the programmer’s guide to JDO. Adopted by the Java Community Process, Java Data Objects (JDO) specifies a universal and transparent persistence service for Java objects.Показать полностьюUsing and Understanding Java Data Objects is the programmer’s guide to JDO. Adopted by the Java Community Process, Java Data Objects (JDO) specifies a universal and transparent persistence service for Java objects. JDO reduces the amount of code that application developers write to store and retrieve persistent state. JDO frees application designers and programmers from the details of persistence. As a result, designs can be more object-oriented, programmers can be more productive, and applications can be more robust and flexible. This book provides you with the insight to evaluate and use JDO. It begins by explaining the concepts and terminology of JDO. It describes in detail the JDO interfaces and classes that you will use to build an application. Throughout, the book probes in depth. It identifies the specification’s blemishes so you can avoid relying on behavior that is not defined. It offers coding strategies to solve common problems. It proposes working designs for common application architectures, such as client/server Swing applications, web applications, and five flavors of Enterprise JavaBeans. The last four chapters provide a tutorial on the JDO Learning Tools, a suite of open source programs that explore JDO and exemplify its use. Using the JDO Learning Tools, you can take a JDO implementation for a test drive and examine the architecture and code of several sample applications.

This book will help developers dig a little deeper into IDEA and embrace its streamlining features which allow for more time to be spent on project design rather than code management.Показать полностьюThis book will help developers dig a little deeper into IDEA and embrace its streamlining features which allow for more time to be spent on project design rather than code management. Without some educational investment, however, IDEA can be just another editor. That then, is the purpose of this book. To not only get you up and running quickly, but to teach you how to use IDEA’s powerful software development tools to their fullest advantage. Important product features, including the debugger, source code control, and the many code generation tools, are carefully explained and accompanied by tips and tricks that will leave even experienced IDEA users with "Eureka!" moments of informed programming. Coders just graduating from NOTEPAD and Java IDE veterans alike will profit from the powerful and timesaving expertise provided in this essential programmer’s resource. IDEA is a next-generation IDE for Java, an Integrated Development Environment. As the term IDE implies, IDEA integrates or combines all of the tools needed to develop Java software into a single application and interface. In other words, IDEA is a tool that helps develop Java applications more quickly, easily, and intelligently. IDEA can help with every phase of a project, from design and development to testing and deployment. This book is based on the IntelliJ IDEA Java development environment software from JetBrains, version 5.0
