Welcome to the fourth edition of Professional JSP, designed to help new and experienced Java developers alike discover the power (and even the joy) of creating Java-based server-side solutions for the Web by using JavaServer Pages, or JSP for short. If you've programmed with JSP before, you'll find that the new features in JSP 2.1 make developing JSP pages easier than ever before. If you only know a little Java, this is your chance to add JSP to your toolbox skills. JSP is a server-side technology that takes the Java language, with its inherent simplicity and elegance, and uses it to create highly interactive and flexible web applications. In today's unsure economic climate, having the Java language as the cornerstone of JSP makes JSP part- ularly compelling for business: Because Java is an open language (meaning it doesn't require expensive licenses), JSP solutions can be highly cost-effective. The founding premise of JSP is that HTML can be used to create the basic structure of a web page, and Java code can be mixed in with the HTML to provide the dynamic components of the page that modern web users expect. If you understand the concepts of HTML and web pages, JSP provides an unbeatable way to learn about creating innovative, interactive content as well as coming to grips with the popular language of Java. This book will be your guide as you step into this exciting new world.

Spring—the open source Java–based framework—allows you to build lighter, better performing applications. Written by Spring insiders Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, Pro Spring is the only book endorsed by Rod Johnson, founder of the Spring Framework. At over 800 pages, this is by far the most comprehensive book available and thoroughly explores the power of Spring. You’ll learn Spring basics and core topics, as well as share the authors’ insights and real–world experience with remoting, mail integration, hibernate, and EJB.From the foreword: “Rob's enthusiasm for Spring—and technology in general—is infectious. He has a wide range of industry experience and a refreshingly practical, common sense approach to applying it. All those qualities come out in this book. It’s evident on nearly every page that it reflects in–depth experience with Spring and J2EE as a whole. Rob is not only an author and open source developer—he is an application developer, like his readers. I firmly believe that the best writing on software development comes out of experience in the trenches, so this is my kind of book.If you’re new to Spring, this book will help you understand its core concepts and the background in areas such as transaction management and O/R mapping that underpins them. If you’re already using Spring, you will learn about features you haven’t yet seen and hopefully, gain a deeper understanding of those features youre already using.”—Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework

Nearly any application you build requires some form of output. And the output format may change on a regular basis, which can lead to a heavy maintenance burden and a restrictive test cycle. But by utilizing the power of the Velocity template engine, you can integrate templated output into your application, decoupling the application logic from the output format. Pro Jakarta Velocity: From Professional to Expert leads leads you immediately toward configuration and setup, all the way through to full-blown application development. This is not merely a book about web development, as the multipurpose Velocity does more than replace JSP. Instead, this book demonstrates many alternative Velocity uses. This in-depth book also shows you how to integrate Velocity development and use it with other open-source frameworks and tools, such as Spring and Apache Struts.

BACK A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD AN IDEA. What if I could make the power of the DirectX API available to the developers who were going to be using the new set of languages and common language runtime that Microsoft was developing? The idea was intriguing, and opening up a larger portion of the world to DirectX was a goal I was only happy to endorse. * Besides, what developer doesn't want to write games? It seems that at least once a week I am answering questions directly regard- ing the performance of managed code, and Managed DirectX in particular. One of the more common questions I hear is some paraphrase of "e;Is it as fast as unmanaged code?"e; Obviously in a general sense it isn't. Regardless of the quality of the Managed DirectXAPI, the fact remains that it still has to run through the same DirectXAPI that the unmanaged code does. There is naturally going to be a slight overhead for this, but does it have a large negative impact on the majority of applications? Of course it doesn't. No one is suggesting that one of the top-of-the-line polygon pushing games coming out today (say, Half Life 2 or Doom 3) should be written in Managed DirectX. , but that doesn't mean that there isn't a whole slew of games that could be. I'll get more to that in just a few moments.

As I write this, Visual Studio .NET 2003 has been in the hands of developers for slightly over a year, and it has become one of the most popular development tools of all time for the Microsoft platform. Visual Studio .NET 2003 is an incremental release of the Visual Studio IDE, and it includes a similarly incremental release of the .NET Framework, version 1.1. The significance of the changes in this release cannot be overlooked, although the basic philosophy has not changed from the original version. The differences in this release are a particular topic in this book, though we will also be reviewing some features that have changed little. This book offers you the practical experience and wisdom drawn from a wide team of programmers who use Visual Studio .NET in their work every day. After a year of using Visual Studio .NET in a production environment, everyone has, of course, grown wiser in the use of this great product. This book brings you what we have learned across the depth and breadth ofVisual Studio .NET. Without further ado, then, let us dig into the depths of the Visual Studio .NET IDE, a look at the versions provided by Microsoft, and an overview of the rest of this book.
