This valuable guide was written by two IBM insiders who have successfully taught VisualAge for Java to programmers around the world for IBM's certification courses. It gives programmers the inside track on preparing for IBM's certification and explains how to debug Java programs interactively. Programmers and developers will find helpful coverage of VisualAge for Java's IDE and Visual Builder along with techniques for applying Visual Design Patterns. They'll also learn how to deploy Java applications and applets and create JFC components with version 2.0.
