Programming Web Components

This book/CD-ROM package shows you how to build killer apps that not only run on a Web browser but also work as stand-alone applications, independent of all platforms. Java Masters Reaz Hoque and Tarun Sharma bring you up to speed on the fundamentals of Java and distributed objects. They'll show you how to use JavaBeans and ActiveX, and help you determine which works better for your particular situation. You'll also learn how to link the two technologies using JavaSoft's ActiveX and JavaBeans bridge wrapper tools - and you'll even enjoy rare guidance on how to combine VRML with JavaBeans. The included CD-ROM gives you all this: Beans Developers Kit (BDK) Version 1.0, IBM's VisualAge for Java, Super Mojo, and other third-party Beans and ActiveX controls. You also get MindQ's interactive Java tutorial.
