E-mail, e-marketing, e-commerce, e-business, and e-communities - just a few years ago, having a presence on the Web was considered innovative. Today, a Web presence is not only innovative; it's imperative. With the advent of home banking, package tracking, order entry, order status inquiry, and other customer services, a business without a Web strategy will soon be out of business. Driven by the needs of e-commerce, Web-to-Host Connectivity demonstrates how to connect legacy systems and databases to the Web and describes the technologies needed to do it. It provides comprehensive coverage of web-to-host solutions and technologies in addition to security, server, network and system management usage. This book places an emphasis on improving data access and data exchange, no matter where it resides.
Professional programmers can use "Visual Cafe Pro" to leverage their object-oriented programming skills to master Java and create applications that interact with popular databases, such as MS Access, MS SQL Server, Oracle, and Sybase.

"JBuilder Developer's Guide" provides comprehensive coverage of JBuilder from the practitioner's viewpoint. The authors develop a consolidated application throughout the chapters, allowing conceptual cohesion and illustrating the use of JBuilder to build 'real-world' applications. The examples can be compiled and run under JBuilder Personal edition, a free edition of JBuilder. "JBuilder Developer's Guide" is not version specific but explains the latest JBuilder 6, 7, and 8 features such as enterprise J2EE application development, CORBA, SOAP, XML tools, Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages/Servlets, and JavaBeans technology. JBuilder repeatedly wins "developer's choice" awards as the best visual tool for developing Java applications.
This book teaches two important topics in contemporary software development: object-oriented programming and Java. The book uses a different approach from most of the available literature. It begins with a description of real-world object interaction scenarios and explains how they can be translated, represented, and executed using the object-oriented programming paradigm. After establishing a solid foundation in the object-oriented programming concepts, the book explains the proper implementation using Java. Topics run from "A Quick Tour of Java" to "Graphical Interfaces and Windows," to "Java Database Connectivity," and much more.
