  1. Java I/O, Second Edition - May 2006
  2. Java I/O - March 1999
Description
All of Java's Input/Output (I/O) facilities are based on streams, which provide simple ways to read and write data of different types. Java I/O, 2nd Edition tells you all you need to know about the four main categories of streams and uncovers less-known features to help make your I/O operations more efficient. You'll also learn how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.

About the Author

  1. Elliotte Rusty Harold

    Elliotte Rusty Harold is originally from New Orleans to which he returns periodically in search of a decent bowl of gumbo. However, he currently resides in the University Town Center neighborhood of Irvine with his wife Beth, dog Shayna, and cats Charm (named after the quark) and Marjorie (named after his mother-in-law). He's an adjunct professor of computer science at Polytechnic University where he teaches Java, XML, and object oriented programming. He's a frequent speaker at industry conferences including Software Development, Dr. Dobb's Architecure & Design World, SD Best Practices, Extreme Markup Languages, and too many user groups to count. His open source projects include the XOM Library for processing XML with Java and the Amateur media player.
