Synopsis
Everyone wants to use Java, but there are billions of lines of C++ code already up and running. This book provides a hands-on reference for accomplished programmers, providing key concepts for each language and how they are similar/different. The CD-ROM contains JDK 1/1 and Symantec's Cafe Lite, as well as sample code from the book. The CD runs on Windows 95 or NT.

From the Back Cover
*Java( vs. C++: Direct, unbiased comparisons
*Slash your learning curve!
*Easy Q&A format
*Extensive sample code
*Java for C++ developers
*C++ for Java developers

The nuts-and-bolts Java/C++ comparison you've been waiting for! C++ developers: Learn Java now! Java developers: Learn C++ now! If you know either language, leverage what you already know to become an expert on both Java and C++! Slash your learning curve with this exceptionally practical reference, full of easy-to-use Q&As, sample code, and unbiased comparisons that'll make you productive fast. Discover:

*Techniques you already know that'll keep working with little or no change *Subtle but critical differences between C++ and Java *Habits you'd better "unlearn" fast

Through real-world examples, compare how Java and C++ handle:

*Literals, keywords, operators, and basic constructs
*Environmental differences
*Java and C++ classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling
*Obtaining runtime type information about objects

Review the application services available to Java applications, and how they compare to C++ equivalents in UNIX and Windows NT. Learn how the C++ iostream class framework compares with the Java stream classes of package java.io. Discover the basics of multiprocessing and multithreading in both Java and C++. Compare event trapping in Java and NT C++ message-driven environments, and see how Java windows management stacks up against OSF/Motif. Compare sockets, client/server programming, and TCP/IP internetworking in Java and C++. The CD-ROM includes more than 100 sample programs, plus 32-bit Windows versions of the Java Developer's Kit (JDK) version 1.1.3 and trial versions of Symantec's Visual Cafe and Visual Page. Whether you're migrating to Java, a Java programmer being asked to work in C++, or even a procedural programmer who wants to learn both languages, you won't find a more practical reference than The Java/C++ Cross-Reference Handbook.
