The use of Java in Web browsers has had mixed results. Applications that run in browsers rather than locally find a host of different hurdles. They're more restricted, run slower at times and take a long time to load, thus making complex applications more difficult. Advances in securit... Mar. 1, 2000 12:00 AM EST Reads: 17,112 |

Back before Java became popular, I was a C++ bigot. I programmed in nothing but C++. I lived, ate and breathed C++. If it wasn't C++, it was rubbish. I thought C++ was the alpha and omega of object-oriented programming. I had "operator overloading" for breakfast, "templa... Feb. 1, 2000 12:00 AM EST Reads: 27,927 |

Java programs can use the JDBC API to access relational databases, thereby cleanly separating the database system from the application.
