Beginning Java™ SE 6 Platform: From Novice to Professional steers you through the maze of the new Java Standard Edition (SE) 6 core and desktop platform and its programming API and concepts. You will learn these through action and example. Individual chapters introduce a particular API area, discuss the API, and provide a hands-on example.
This book guides you from beginning to advanced techniques by starting off with a very simple Java SE 6 application, and then covering the fundamentals of generics, collections, annotations, reflections, IO, threads, and networking in Java SE 6. You'll also have some fun learning and creating GUIs, and even use the latest in AWT and Swing as the foundation for a Java-based game application. And the chapters on JavaSound and Java 2D will be an enjoyable learning experience you'll want to share with friends.
Last of all, this book covers data access using the latest JDBC 4 API, security, and dynamic Java scripting language support (which may later open your Java experience to languages like Groovy, BeanShell, and JRuby). By the time you finish this book, you will have mastered the core techniques essential to professional Java developers.

This book puts the "Web" back into web services. It shows how you can connect to the programmable web with the technologies you already use every day. The key is REST, the architectural style that drives the Web. This book:
- Emphasizes the power of basic Web technologies — the HTTP application protocol, the URI naming standard, and the XML markup language
- Introduces the Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), a common-sense set of rules for designing RESTful web services
- Shows how a RESTful design is simpler, more versatile, and more scalable than a design based on Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
- Includes real-world examples of RESTful web services, like Amazon's Simple Storage Service and the Atom Publishing Protocol
- Discusses web service clients for popular programming languages
- Shows how to implement RESTful services in three popular frameworks — Ruby on Rails, Restlet (for Java), and Django (for Python)
- Focuses on practical issues: how to design and implement RESTful web services and clients
