Big Blue Java

Java is the leading object-oriented programming language. With 600,000 installations
worldwide, the IBM AS/400 is the #1 legacy computing platform. Fortunately, IBM has
developed a suite of Java tools that allows IBM programmers to build the Java
applications their companies need to remain competitive. This book provides an overview
of that tool suite, along with guidelines for using it to program for a multi-platform legacy
environment. It covers each IBM/Java tool in detail, as well as related, non-IBM products.
And it shows developers how to work effectively in San Francisco, the IBM/Java
migration environment.

CD-ROM contains sample code from the book, VisualAge for Java forms, servlet
templates, Rational Rose models, and IBM support material.
