JCreator in Java

Create USS Code 39 in Java JCreator

Special edition For Windows Back when I started working on this book s second edition, I went looking for the right Java development environment I needed something that would satisfy all your needs:

Easy to use: You want to use Java You don t want to memorize thousands of ways to point and click Powerful: You want a scalable tool As you write bigger and better programs, you want an environment that can support your growing, complex requirements Efficient: Memory hogs and CPU hogs need not apply Inexpensive: Hey, how about free I found all these qualities in only one product: JCreator from Xinox Software As if this list of demands wasn t enough, I needed a company that could work with me to customize its tool Based on the examples found in this book s second edition, I had certain specialized needs I wanted to change this default here and change that option there I wanted to install my book s code along with the development environment Once again, the people at Xinox Software came through for me then and came through for me again when I updated my examples for the present edition JCreator was a wonderful product for this book s second edition and is equally wonderful for the fourth edition of Java For Dummies I hope that you enjoy using it For more information and a free trial of JCreator PRO, visit wwwjcreatorcom

Commercial version For Windows and Mac Talk about added value! This book has several extra chapters on its CD-ROM To view these chapters, you need a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader That s no problem, because a free copy of Reader is on the CD-ROM For more information, visit wwwadobecom/acrobat If you re on the road, and you need some light reading, just pull into a nearby cybercafe You can find the extra chapters on this book s Web site

Trial version Platform independent When it comes to writing code, beauty is more than skin deep An ugly program is hard to read If anything goes wrong, no one, not even the program s author, can wade through lines and lines of cryptic, poorly formatted classes and methods To make code look good, you can follow some clear, uniform style guidelines Always indent by a certain number of spaces, always arrange curly braces a certain way, always do this, never do that You can memorize lots of rules, or you can have software do it for you So write code any way that you want Then hand your code over to Jindent The Jindent program beautifies your code, making it easier to read, easier to understand, and (yes!) cheaper to maintain For more information, visit wwwjindentcom

Freeware version For Windows NetCaptor uses tabs to keep track of several open Web pages These tabs replace the need to open several browser windows Sure, lots of Web browsers use tabs, but NetCaptor is my favorite When I visit a search engine, I keep the results page open while I investigate some of the page s entries When I do Java development, I keep the API documentation open while I visit one or more of my own documents For more information, visit wwwnetcaptorcom

Evaluation For Windows If you use Windows, and you re a real geek, you know how clumsy MS-DOS can be The years I ve wasted retyping commands is dwarfed only by the time that I ve spent drilling for items in deeply-nested menus and Explorer trees To make your life simpler, try WinOne The WinOne shell is

like the built-in Windows command prompt But WinOne has multicolored text, smart filename completion, a scroll bar, command grouping, smart delete, macros, command history, extended batch commands, and (best of all) delightfully easy access to directories For more information on WinOne, visit wwwwinonecomau
