Exception handling is one of those programming techniques that beginners often neglect to implement. However, when they end up working on a large project on which dozens of other colleagues are working, they find that you just can’t afford to be superficial. Throughout this article we’re going to cover exceptions, explain what they are, how to work with them, and why they are important—ultimately, how to handle them.
More About Multithreading in Java
You are reading the second part of the multithreading in Java series. The first part covered the basics of threads, explained the theory that lies behind them, and then gave examples of the two possible ways of creating new threads. This article resumes the journey by getting even deeper into concepts like the ThreadGroup class, synchronization, and inter-thread communication.
The Basics of Multiple Threads in Java
In this day and age programmers must implement multi-threading solutions into their code. Every somewhat modern programming language that respects itself offers opportunities to work with threads. Today we’re going to learn how to do this in Java. This article requires at least a little knowledge of Java such as classes, objects, inheritance and interfaces. We’ll try to keep it simple.
Data Access Using Spring Framework JDBC
Persisting and accessing data forms one of the most routine yet core functionalities of any application. In the world of JEE, there are many APIs as well as frameworks to achieve to achieve the same. The Spring Framework is no exception. This article will explain how to use this framework for persisting and accessing data in your applications.
New Object Initialization in Java
Initializing your objects is an important part of coding in Java, if you care at all about managing your memory. You will also find that properly initialized objects lead to fewer problems with bugs. This article will explain what objects are in Java, why you should initialize them, and how to accomplish this task.
Adding Images With iTextSharp
Often, text alone can communicate a message, but sometimes graphics are needed. Even when they aren't, text alone can be a bit dull to read. In this article, we'll take a look at incorporating graphics into a PDF document with iTextSharp.
Adding Columns With iTextSharp
The iTextSharp library makes it very easy to create a PDF document with text. The text can be styled in various ways, aligned in various ways, indented and spaced in various ways, etc. When the PDF document must be printed out, the document's readability can be improved by breaking the text into columns. The iTextSharp library provides support for columns, and in this article, we're going to take a look at them.
Creating Simple PDF Files With iTextSharp
Have you ever wondered how to generate PDF documents in .NET? Thankfully, there's a port of the iText library for .NET, called iTextSharp. Moreover, since C# and Java share a number of similarities, iText code in Java can be easily converted into C# in order to work with iTextSharp. In this article, we'll take a look at the iTextSharp library, using it for PDF generation and manipulation in .NET.
The Spring Framework: Understanding IoC
IoC or Inversion of Control is one of the core features of Spring. It helps in simplifying the implementation of business logic. To use the Spring Framework to its full potential, understanding the IoC container of the framework is essential. Hence, in this discussion, the focus will be on the IoC – the concept as well as the container provided by Spring Framework.
Introducing the Spring Framework
In this discussion, I will be focusing on the Spring Framework. The first section will be about the whys and wherefores of the Spring Framework. In the second and third sections, I will explain how to use the Spring Framework to implement business logic. In the fourth and fifth sections, I will develop an application that uses the Spring Framework.
Java Classes
Well it's been a while since we discussed Java and I graced these pages with its complicated beauty (for an example of complicated beauty, take a peek at Hillary Swank, who is pretty in a well...complicated sort of way). In this new series of articles, we will be discussing Classes.
Completing the Syntactic Comparison of Java and C/C++
This is the second half of the two-part series on the syntactic comparison of Java and C/C++. Before we begin, I’d like to encourage you to read its first part if by any chance you’ve missed it. It is called “Syntactic Comparison of Java and C/C++” and it’s published right here. You shouldn’t miss it because grasping the basics is crucial.
Syntactic Comparison of Java and C/C++
Nowadays millions of computer programmers want to become multi-lingual; for that reason they try to acquire understanding of multiple programming languages. Experienced coders know that it is possible to get the hang of a new language in a fairly short amount of time. Being able to compare the syntax of different languages makes learning new ones easier.
Java Statements
In our last article, we finished our discussion of Java operators, and started to take a look at statements. In this article, we'll continue explaining Java statements. Statements aren't exactly complicated once you grasp the concept. Indeed, many statements have counterparts -- of a sort -- in real life.
Conditionals, Expressions and Other Java Operators
In our last article we left off with Operators. Since then a strange time fluctuation has occurred, and that is exactly where we pick up. So keep reading to learn about exotic things like conditionals, expressions, and more.
Java Operators
It's been about a month or so since we finished our beginning Java series, so I'm sure you're ready for more. This time, I am going to teach you to work with operators in Java. When I am finished, you will be able to do complex mathematical equations, add one string of text to another, and build programs so powerful you will be able to put thousands of hard working Americans out of work with the push of a button.
Primitive Data Types and Basic Language Rules for Java
Last time we discussed some basic concepts related to object-oriented programming. Two major ideas we defined were objects and variables. In this article, we will continue our discussion of variables by explaining how they hold and interact with data.
Java and Object-Oriented Programming
In the olden days, not only did we have to walk a mile in the chilling winds of a snowstorm to get to school (hey our grandparents had it rougher; they had to do it to get to day care), we also had to make programs without buttons and scrollbars. Now, of course, we have object-oriented programming. This article will introduce you to the most important concepts as they relate to Java.
Java Beginning Programming
Since its creation about 16 years ago, Java has become ubiquitous. Developers appreciate its write once, run anywhere philosophy. If you want to start making use of Java and its many benefits, keep reading.
Gaming Development Setup
One important step in creating your own computer games is configuring your development environment. Keep reading to learn how. This article is taken from chapter one of Advanced Java Game Programming by David Wallace Croft (Apress, 2004; ISBN 1590591232).
