The hot topic at this year's JavaOne conference was Java/CORBA programming and JavaBeans. The first edition of this book was the bestseller at the conference. Most of the new tools and products surrounding Java development will be CORBA-based. These tools are expected to ship by year's end. Tools for JavaBeans are also expected to ship by year's end. It's a perfect time to update one of our most successful programming books for these new products.
Our authors are in the thick of everyone's development plans for Java and CORBA. JavaSoft and Sun are paying them to consult on JavaBeans, Netscape and Oracle are wining and dining them about their CORBA expertise, Symantec has asked them to consult on the next version of Visual Café, and both IBM and Microsoft are asking for their help on formulating their Java strategy.
In addition to their consulting services which gives them the inside scoop, they also run a million $ lab at San Jose State where they are early beta testers on a lot of the tools and products discussed in the book. This inside knowledge will allow them to write the definitive book on programming with Java and CORBA.
