QuickTime for Java: A Developer’s Notebook

Product Description
QuickTime Java (QJT) is a terrific toolkit, but it’s also terrifying to the uninitiated. Java who need to add audio, video, or interactive media creation and playback to their applications find that QTJ is powerful, but not easy to get into. In fact, when it comes to class-count, QuickTime Java is nearly as large as all of Java 1.1. Once you learn the entire scope of Apple’s QuickTime software, you really appreciate the problem. At its simplest, QuickTime allows Mac and Windows users to play audio and video on their computers.

But QuickTime is many things: a file format, an environment for media authoring, and a suite of applications that includes browser plug-ins for viewing media within a web page, a PictureViewer for working with still pictures, QuickTime Streaming Server for delivering streaming media files on the Internet in real time, and QuickTime Broadcaster for delivering live events on the Internet. Among others. As if that weren’t daunting enough, the javadocs on QJT are wildly incomplete, and other books on the topic are long out of date and not well regarded, making progress with QTJ extremely difficult. So what can you do? Our new hands-on guide, QuickTime Java: A Developer’s Notebook, not only catches up with this technology, but de-mystifies it. This practical “all lab, no lecture” book is an informal, code-intensive workbook that offers the first real look at this important software. Like other titles in our Developer’s Notebook series, QuickTime Java: A Developer’s Notebook is for impatient early adopters who want get up to speed on what they can use right now. It’s deliberately light on theory, emphasizing example over explanation and practice over concept, so you can focus on learning by doing. QuickTime Java: A Developer’s Notebook gives you just the functionality you need from QTJ. Even if you come to realize that 95% of the API is irrelevant to you, this book will help you master the 5% that really counts.

Java I/O, 2nd Edition

Java I/O, 2nd Edition

All of Java’s Input/Output (I/O) facilities are based on streams, which provide simple ways to read and write data of different types. Java provides many different kinds of streams, each with its own application. The universe of streams is divided into four large categories: input streams and output streams, for reading and writing binary data; and readers and writers, for reading and writing textual (character) data. You’re almost certainly familiar with the basic kinds of streams–but did you know that there’s a CipherInputStream for reading encrypted data? And a ZipOutputStream for automatically compressing data? Do you know how to use buffered streams effectively to make your I/O operations more efficient? Java I/O, 2nd Edition has been updated for Java 5.0 APIs and tells you all you ever need to know about streams–and probably more.

A discussion of I/O wouldn’t be complete without treatment of character sets and formatting. Java supports the Unicode standard, which provides definations for the character sets of most written languages. Consequently, Java is the first programming language that lets you do I/O in virtually any language. Java also provides a sophisticated model for formatting textual and numeric data. Java I/O, 2nd Edition shows you how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard (but outdated) ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.

Java I/O, 2nd Edition includes:

• Coverage of all I/O classes and related classes
• In-depth coverage of Java’s number formatting facilities and its support for international character sets
