"Sooner or later, everyone involved in the information industry will have to know about Java and XML," argue the authors of "Client/Server Data Access with Java and XML." This book is a fine introduction to late-breaking Internet technologies that use Java, including Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), embedded SQL, object-oriented databases, and XML. The authors provide a useful perspective on Java database programming today and in the future. Far more than a programmer's guide to Java and XML, the authors evaluate and present future standards and technology that will undoubtedly change the face of the Internet as we know it. Every manager and Java developer can benefit from this far-reaching, future-oriented book.

In "Java Programming for Windows," Mark Watson shows you how to leverage the power of Java to build applications that run on Windows. He concentrates on the Application Foundation Classes (AFC) and the new Windows Foundation Classes (WFC). He also explores newer technologies such as Direct3D for 3-D graphics, JScript, Dynamic HTML (DHTML), and XML. Windows developers will surely want to see what Java can do for their favorite platform. This wide-ranging guide presents the best of Microsoft Java with clear, useful examples.

"The simple fact is that Windows CE systems aren't the best platform for a general-purpose class library like MFC," writes Doug Boling, author of "Programming Microsoft Windows CE." His excellent treatment of Windows CE development in C argues that small, fast programs are a necessity. He offers some in-depth technical knowledge of the Windows CE C API. Even if you choose to program in MFC and C++, it pays to know the internals of the Windows CE platform. This comprehensive tutorial, written for the experienced Windows C programmer, provides many excellent tips for writing full- feature and efficient programs for today's hand-held devices.

"What makes a bright, experienced programmer much more productive than a bright, but inexperienced, programmer is experience," observes Mark Grand, author of "Patterns in Java." Today, software design patterns let more seasoned developers share their experience and expertise. This book provides a library of 41 reusable design patterns for class design in Java, all illustrated using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and sample Java code. With this book in hand, developers can get a head start on creating more efficient software in less time. This book gathers some of the best patterns from the last five years and organizes them into a handy and accessible format.

C++ developers know that the Active Template Library (ATL) is the best way to build lean-and-mean components on the Windows platform. Richard Grimes's "Professional ATL COM Programming" draws on the author's considerable expertise in designing with ATL over the years, but is newly updated for ATL 3 and Visual C++ 6. The author's "personal odyssey through ATL" since version 1 gives him an invaluable perspective on what's new and improved. There are plenty of hands-on tips and tricks to let you create ATL components of all stripes, including HTML controls or server-side components. Written for the experienced C++ developer, this book shows you how ATL really works and lets you write custom code that goes well beyond where the built-in wizards take you.

For Java and C++ programmers, the world changes quickly, but there are few more essential ideas for object-oriented development today than software patterns--reusable, higher- order designs for objects, which occur again and again across projects. The "Design Patterns CD" provides a handy electronic version of an earlier book, "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software," written by four important pattern researchers. This CD catalogs and describes 23 essential patterns, including sample code in C++ (and Smalltalk). The electronic format makes it easy to search and cross-reference every pattern.

The book doesn't skimp when it comes to standard C++ language features, with full treatment of C++ class-design principles, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and namespaces. At the same time, this book looks at hands-on programming with the powerful Visual C++ 6 tool. It covers MFC basics, such as document/ view architecture, as well important technologies such as ActiveX and database programming.

The authors of "Inside Distributed COM" do a remarkable job of explaining the intricacies of Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) with a high level of technical detail, but they do it in an appealing and well-thought out format. This book is all you need to get a perspective on the inner details of COM, including the future of distributed computing. This text mixes sample code from C++, Java, and Visual Basic to show off how DCOM really works. There is an introduction to object design in COM, and full treatment of basic and advanced topics (such as multithreading and the details of distributed computing). The authors even cover new COM developments, such as Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and the new COM+ specification in NT 5.

Data structures, such as linked lists and stacks, have long been a part of any competent programmer's repertoire. "Data Structures and Algorithms in Java" uses the strengths of the new Java programming language to illustrate all the most important types of data structures. This book is a great refresher on how to store data, and it shows how Java is ready to tackle even the most complicated data structures. Numerous sample applets show the operation of all types of containers, including arrays and linked lists, and more advanced containers, such as trees and graphs.

The exciting world of game programming awaits C/C++ programmers in this excellent and very readable introduction to the basics of the Microsoft DirectX platform. The book first looks at what DirectX is and how it gives programmers access to advanced graphics and sound hardware through Microsoft's COM platform. The authors then introduce the basic concepts for successful DirectX programming, and cover features such as DirectDraw (for 2-D graphics), DirectSound (for sound), and others. DirectX programming is tough terrain, and the authors are careful to bring the reader along here with short, direct examples and plenty of smart commentary in between.

Sun's release of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) this year made Java arguably ready for prime-time corporate development--particularly the introduction of JFC Swing user interface classes, which let developers create Java programs that can rival "native-style" applications written in languages such as C++ or Visual Basic. "Programming with JFC" mixes some background and theory of what's behind the Swing classes, such as the sophisticated Model-View- Controller (MVC) architecture. It provides plenty of short, working examples of using all the Swing controls, from simple input boxes and labels to more sophisticated controls, such as tables and trees. This book tells you just what you need to create state-of-the-art Java interfaces.

By now you've heard about the Y2K problem, but according to Lance Latham, author of "Standard C Date/Time Library," "the year A.D. 2000 is far more interesting from the perspective of the Gregorian leap year rule." (The reason is that the year 2000 is indeed a leap year, when years divisible by 100 usually are not.) So begins Latham's fascinating tour of our different calendar systems, including Western and other systems throughout history, many having to do with "applied astronomy" and each with its own inaccuracies and foibles. The book features a general library of time and date functions for C (which can be used in Visual Basic and Delphi, for instance) and includes source code for all. The author also includes some intriguing trivia about humankind's repeated attempts to get a handle on time.
