I was introduced to Java
in the Fall of 1995 when
most of the industry
viewed Java as a language
to be used for developing
applets. At the time,
several colleagues of
mine were looking at Java
with great excitement but
not as an app...
You've just finished up
that Java program you've
been working on for a
while. You sit back in
your chair and feel proud
of yourself. It's now
time to show your
finished work to the
boss. Half an hour later
he calls you into the
of...
Even two years after its
public debut, the Java
juggernaut shows no sign
of slowing. In fact, more
than two years after its
public debut, its
popularity is still
increasing. Businesses
are in a headlong rush to
move to Java to take ...
Data is one of those
housekeeping duties that
has to be performed by
everyone who uses a
computer. Whatever level
they are on, somewhere
along the line data is
stored, files are created
and directories are made.
Scripting languages
provide a powerful tool
for easily gluing
together components of a
system. The CORBA
community has recently
begun work on a CORBA
Component framework which
incorporates many of the
architectural insights of
Jav...
The introduction of Java
brought several advances
to the discipline of
software development.
Based on lessons learned
from years of building
software in C++, the Java
language was designed to
simplify the development
of object-orien...
Coding style means
nothing to a compiler; it
will happily accept any
legal code, no matter how
badly formatted. Not so
for us humans. Our
ability to read and
understand a program
written by another is
extremely sensitive to
format...
Introduction With wider
acceptance of component
development and
distributed object
technologies,
applications can be
'assembled' as a set of
collaborating components.
For non-visual business
components, where

Java enables us to embed
miniature applications
called Applets within Web
pages which can process
data, perform graphical
animations and access
databases, among other
things, in a dynamic
fashion. In addition,
these Applets work fin...
My last column covered
Components, Containers
and Events. The material
discussed Java's
different kinds of
Components, the class
structure, how Components
generate events and how
those events can be
handled. We discussed the
diffe...
A question I have been
asking myself lately is
whether high-profile
alliances of large
corporations are actually
the best way to advance
the technology
initiatives that shape
our development
environment and the
products we build a...
JDJ: For those readers
who aren't familiar with
Schlumberger Electronic
Transactions, could you
please give us a short
history of your corporate
background and structure
plus your own

Personal Java
PersonalJavaª is a new
Java Application
Environment for
network-connectable
applications on personal
consumer devices for
home, office and mobile
use. It is designed
specifically for resource
limited environments.
It's a funny thing,
public opinion and the
media and how they
determine the direction
of so many things.
Presidential elections,
foreign policy, the stock
market, and yes, even
Java. Java has survived
1997, but its coat
doesn't ha...
I have been waking up in
the middle of the night,
palms sweating, heart
pounding, eyes wide open.
It is THAT dream again.
The end is near...
Armageddon for the
personal computer
industry. Apple is below
5 percent market share.
