  Core JavaServer Faces
  Geary & Horstmann

  Suggested retail price: $59.99  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $30.59  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  Appropriate for all courses in Java programming with JavaServer Faces (JSF), and many intermediate-to-advanced level courses on Java frameworks that are being updated to include JSF coverage.

  Using JavaServer Faces (JSF), Java developers can build world-class Web user interfaces virtually without writing code. At the same time, JSF can help them simplify a wide range of complex tasks–from separating presentation and business logic to managing configuration. In Core JavaServer Faces, renowned Java developers David Geary and Cay Horstmann teach experienced Java developers all they need to create production-quality software with JSF 1.0. Geary (Graphic Java) and Horstmann (Core Java) systematically introduce JSF’s tags, the basic building blocks of JSF development. Students learn how to set up the JSF programming environment, connect JSF tags to application logic, provide navigation amongst pages, convert and validate input, and more. Then, using realistic, non-trivial code examples, the authors introduce more advanced tasks: creating custom converters and validators, handling events, sharing common content among multiple pages, building custom components, connecting to databases and external services, even supporting wireless clients. The book ends with a “How do I” chapter that answers students’ most common questions about JSF development. Also included: helpful notes on debugging, logging, and more. Like all Core Series books, Core JavaServer Faces is both a no-nonsense tutorial and a comprehensive reference: the fastest, most effective pathway to deep, practical mastery.

  PHP and MySQL have become a serious and commercially viable system with

  which to develop web applications. With the relase of PHP 5, J2EE

  developers, in particular, are starting to take a second look at PHP. And while

  there are many books on the makret that describe PHP language syntax, there

  are very few that fully describe web application development with PHP and

  related technologies. This book describes the complete web application

  development lifecycle, from planning the application to designing the user

  interface to building in robust security. And since web applications serve the

  entire world, often neglected globalization issues are treated in detail.

  Though MySQL is used throughout the examples, Part IV also contains

  examples of building applications on top of both Oracle and PostgresSQL, two

  popular alternatives to MySQL for use in mission-critical systems.
