Java Frameworks and Components: Accelerate Your Web Application Development

by Michael Nash | ISBN:0521520592 | Cambridge University Press, 2003 | (477 pages)

This book is a practical tool for Java programmers. It provides the necessary information for them to find, evaluate, and select suitable application frameworks. This work explains in plain language the benefits of frameworks and component technologies, specifically in relation to web application development. It is unique in that it does not focus on any specific technology, but uses examples from several different frameworks to explain the underlying principles. It therefore has a broad appeal to developers who are not sure which framework is right for their purpose, and serves also as a practical tool. Application frameworks are large, often complex tools that many developers do not fully understand. Consequently, they cannot take advantage of the substantial benefits such a technology can bring to their development project, as they are often left “reinventing the wheel.” As the market for web applications begins its second wave, this book provides the critical information for developers to make the transition into componentized framework-based development, keeping them ahead in an increasingly competitive market. An emphasis on quality and globalization is maintained throughout, as these factors become essential in new projects.
