Amazon.com description: Product Description: Java for Business Using Java to Win Customers, Cut Costs, and Drive Growth "By the end of 1997 we expect there to be 100 million Java enabled computers. Business applications of this network centric, platform independent, highly secure language will explode. Businesses will see faster development, more security, lower IT costs, and do things they could not easily do before. Java will help businesses win customers, cut costs, and drive growth as Anderson contends. We see Java as a key technology for Netscape, as well as for every business that uses a network." Marc Andreessen, Senior Vice President of Technology, Netscape Communications Corp. "Java will penetrate every aspect of business, and IBM is committed to delivering Java-based solutions to our customers. Using Java, companies can web-enable existing technology to enhance their business metabolism through the power of open network computing. The case studies in this book demonstrate the potential all businesses might realize from the open, cross-platform computing possible with Java." John R.
