> ***Head First Java
> Order Number: 4656
> You've never seen an O'Reilly book (or any other book, for that matter)
> like "Head First Java." Learning well and at a deep level takes a lot
> more than reading text on a page. Actively combining words and pictures
> helps in both understanding a subject and remembering it. "Head First
> Java" puts these ideas into practice with mind-stretching exercises,
> memorable analogies, and stories, humor, and attitude that aren't
> pasted-on distractions--they drive home key points and make ideas come
> alive. The Head First approach is as effective as it is unique.
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava/
>
> Excerpts on "A Trip to Objectville" and "Serious Polymorphism" are
> available online:
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava/chapter/index.html

> classes, and ends with a detailed quick reference. It provides
> developers who may be experienced in other application toolkits with
> the grounding they'll need to start developing Cocoa applications. A
> complement to Apple's documentation, it is the only reference to the
> classes, functions, types, constants, protocols, and methods that make
> up Cocoa's Foundation and Application Kit frameworks, based on the
> Jaguar release (Mac OS X 10.2).

> If you have a background in database work, you have undoubtedly run

> important to remember that there are differences between databases and
> DataSets. In this particular case, the DataSets are designed to manage
> calculated columns. In this article Mike Gunderloy will show you the
> syntax for building calculated columns in your own DataSets, and
> discuss some of the pros and cons of using such columns.
