About the Book

Now that the Java hype is settling down, it's time for IT professionals to ask the tough questions: What is Java good for? How much of your time (and your organization's resources) should you invest in it? What can Java do today, and what gaps still exist? What are strategic vendors like Microsoft, H-P, Compaq, Intel, IBM and Sun doing about Java - and how should their plans and products affect your Java strategy? This is a complete, up-to-the-minute Java briefing for every IT professional and decision-maker. Understand Java's rapidly evolving role in the Internet, intranets, E-commerce, and in reducing the cost of computing. Discover how Java fits with DHTML, XML, JavaScript and other key browser technologies, and see how companies are using Java applets for competitive advantage. Get new statistics on Java adoption, and discover strategic new Java products, such as Visual Basic-to-Java converters. Get a no-holds-barred view of Java security, compared with alternatives such as Microsoft's ActiveX. Learn the status of Sun's Java libraries and APIs - and alternatives proposed by Microsoft and others. Whatever your role, this book will help you plan for Java more effectively.
