This is the core book for the serious adopter of Microsoft's implementation of Java "TM" . It's all here -- ActiveX integration, HTML and the Web, animation, Web security, AFC, and more. For starters, readers get an overview of the object-oriented paradigm and specifics of how Java has improved the C++ grammar. Then users go on to learn about building powerful, useful applets with the Java AppletWizard; handling the power and pitfalls of multithreading; performing flicker-free animation for extra visual sizzle; and developing full-featured Windows "RM" applications.

This book presents the state of the art in software visualization and thus attempts to establish it as a field on its own. Based on a seminar held at Dagstuhl Castle in May 2001, the book offers topical sections on: - algorithm animation - software visualization and software engineering - software visualization and education - graphs in software visualization - and perspectives of software visualization. Each section starts with an introduction surveying previous and current work and providing extensive bibliographies.

Contains 70+ page introduction and VJ++ 1.1 software.
