A press release from No Starch Press:
November 15, 2005, San Francisco--The Java programming language lurks behind both basic computing technology and everyday gizmos like Pocket PCs, handhelds, computer operating systems, and even some cell phones.

Eubanks answers the call with Wicked Cool Java: Code Bits, Open-Source Libraries, and Project Ideas (No Starch Press, December '05), an idea sourcebook containing 101 useful tips, techniques, examples, and project ideas that will bring new excitement to readers' Java code.
Not intended as a basic tutorial, Wicked Cool Java will help developers, system architects, and even advanced hobbyists to leverage their existing knowledge and get the most out of the programming language. The book is filled with example code and ideas for combining Java libraries--those built into the core API as well as the thousands of open source libraries available--into useful projects. Wicked Cool Java also covers tools for open-source environments and explanations of multimedia, graphics, and XML in Java.

“2X ThinClientServer protects companies against vendor lock in and allows re-use of existing PC hardware. Existing thin client vendor management software is proprietary – it only supports vendor’s own thin clients whilst not allowing PCs to be converted to thin clients. 2X ThinClientServer is open and supports any type of thin client device, providing a company with greater flexibility and control of the thin client migration and management” said Nick Galea, CEO 2X.
