Special Edition Using Java 2

Chuck Cavaness is a graduate from Georgia Tech with degrees in computer engineering and computer science, has built Java-based enterprise systems in the healthcare, banking, and B2B sectors. Working at an Internet company to design and develop software architecture, Chuck has spent many frustrating hours figuring out the dos and the don'ts of web applications. With each enterprise system he's developed, Chuck has learned several valuable lessons about building "real-world" web applications, information that he's made available to developers who haven't had the opportunity to work on large systems.
Chuck is the co-author of Special Edition Using Java 1.3 and Special Edition Using EJB 2.0, both available from QUE.

is heavily involved with Java technology. He has written numerous Java-based articles for Java World and Windows TechEdge magazines (which have also appeared on the CNN and IBM Web sites), covering a range of topics from internationalization to Java Plug-in to the future of Java.

He was the chief developer on a project with EDS, where he integrated a smart card device, encryption, and digital signature generation Windows DLLs (written in C++) with Java applets via Java native interface technology. He has worked directly with the virtual machine and created his own disassembler for Java class files.
