TOPICS:Palmer begins by clearly explaining Java events and the Java event lifecycle.
He introduces both local and distributed events, presenting differences, similarities, and
practical techniques for implementing each. The book introduces event classes and event
listener interfaces, as well as more advanced techniques, such as event listener manager
classes and user-defined event classes. Part II presents a comprehensive technical
reference to all Java events: event classes, listener interfaces, support classes,
lifecycle methods, and more.MARKET:For Java programmers at all levels of expertise.
