Castanet & Bongo Programming FrontRunnerCastanet is a technology for the distribution of Java-based software packages called channels over the Internet and intranets. Each channel can be a stand-alone Java application, a Java applet, or a Web site. Channels and their distribution managers, called tuners, are stored locally, and can be used repeatedly without waiting for them to reload every time. Bongo is a visual tool for designing and implementing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for Java applications. Programmers, scripters, and graphics designers will use Bongo to create modular interface building blocks called presentations. Castanet and Bongo Programming FrontRunner offers early adopters hands-on projects that teach them how to develop channels, tuners, and presentations for a consistent look and feel across their applications and Web pages. Readers should learn how to build tuners that can install new versions of a channel's files on the client, and how to take advantage of Bongo's flexibility. |
