About Java For ColdFusion Developers
Product Description Written for experienced ColdFusion developers familiar with HTML and SQL, this guide introduces the concepts of object-oriented programming as well as the data structures, syntax, objects, and classes of Java. The second half of the book explains how to add Java extensions to the ColdFusion environment, and write web applications in Java with JavaServer Pages, servlets, and Enterprise JavaBeans. An appendix outlines the classes and interfaces in the JSP 1.2 and Servlet 2.3 specifications. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) From the Back Cover The first Java guide specifically for experienced ColdFusion developers and Web professionals! Leverage your Web and ColdFusion skills to develop powerful Java applications Master JSP, servlets, custom tags, JavaBeans, JDBC, and other key Java Web technologies Install and run Apache Tomcat 4 and JRun 4 application servers Build several complete applications, including an e-commerce site Includes handy Java glossary and JSP/servlet references Up-to-the-minute coverage of Java 1.4, JSP 1.2, servlet 2.3, and ColdFusion MX With ColdFusion MX and this book, any Web professional can leverage the power of Java to build robust, high-performance Web applications. Leading Web developer and columnist Eben Hewitt begins with a rapid-fire introduction to Java that builds on what you already know about ColdFusion to teach you exactly what you need to know about Java programming. About the Author EBEN HEWITT, M.A., is a Macromedia Certified ColdFusion Developer and Web Development Manager at Cybertrails. He is a frequent columnist, author of Core ColdFusion 5 (Prentice Hall PTR), and creator of Eben Hewitt's ColdFusion Training Course: A Digital Seminar on CD-ROM (PTG Interactive). Every month, millions of people visit the ColdFusion and Java-based sites he has created. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Foreword Well, someone has finally dared to use the J-word in a book written for the ColdFusion developer community. I couldn’t be happier! Eben Hewitt has written a book about Java for ColdFusion developers—and it’s an excellent book, I’m happy to report. But wait—Java? Hasn’t Macromedia spent a great deal of effort reassuring ColdFusion developers that they won’t need to learn Java to use ColdFusion? They certainly have—and when the question is phrased as “Must I learn Java?,” the answer must be “No.” But perhaps our question ought to be, “Should I learn Java?” Ask a better question and you may get a better answer. There are any number of very practical reasons that you might want to learn Java. That you’re holding this book in your hands rather than another indicates that you’re probably well aware of them. For many of us, the most compelling reasons are the increased job opportunities and better pay that knowing Java represents. Like it or not, we developers work in a field where our current knowledge has a finite lifetime of usefulness. In the hyper-accelerated environment of Web technology, new knowledge springs forth daily to replace the old. Our hard-won expertise becomes less valuable daily. Economists even have a term for this; they call it a wasting asset. Ouch. The inescapable fact is that this new knowledge mainly centers on Java, and that fact can be a terrifying one to ColdFusion programmers, who might ask, “Java? You want me to learn Java—with all its weird, C-like syntax and classes that extend from this and inherit that and are dependent on something else? That Java?” Yes—that Java. Java represents a watershed event in the history of software development—the mass adoption of object orientation (OO) as the standard for building software. For 30 years, OO has been being nurtured in a community of dedicated academicians, theorists, and tool-builders. Building on the best practices that proceeded it, OO provides not only some new languages (e.g., Eiffel, Smalltalk, and Java), but a new way of approaching
