********************************************************************* ARTICLES *********************************************************************

1. Speeding Up AJAX with JSON By Sean Kelly JSON's clever idea of being a subset of JavaScript (and Python) makes it an instantly useable, lightweight, and highly nimble way to handle data interchange for AJAX. It's faster to parse and vastly easier to use than XML.

2. Serializing an Object via a Client/Server Connection By Matt Weisfeld Learn how to use Java to create a simple Client/Server system and transfer an object across a network.

3. Processing Image Pixels, Applying Image Convolution in Java, Part 2 By Richard G. Baldwin Part 2 of this lesson teaches you how to design copying filters, smoothing filters, sharpening filters, 3D embossing filters, and edge detection filters, and how to apply those filters to images.

4. Developing Session EJBs with Borland JBuilder Enterprise By Vlad Kofman

Create and use Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) that are J2EE server components and understand their role within the perspective of a J2EE application.

4. Sun Augments Its Offerings for Embedded Market Through New Versions of Java Platform Standard Edition

In preparation for the Embedded Systems Conference, Sun Microsystems, Inc., the creator and leading advocate of Java technology, today expanded its offerings for the embedded development market by releasing two new editions of the Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) -- a reduced-footprint build that uses less than 25 megabytes (MB) of storage, and a fully supported custom port for PowerPC users. Sun also announced a new tuning and benchmarking service for optimizing performance of the Java SE platform for embedded deployments.

Java technology is becoming an increasingly utilized platform for modern embedded systems due to its inherent networking support, display strengths, and data processing capabilities. Most features of the Java SE platform can be used now for embedded development, thanks to the increasing capacity of new hardware. One good example is the new VIA EPIA N-series Nano-ITX mainboard -- which is only 12 centimeters (4.7 inches) square -- yet features a one gigahertz (1 GHz) processor and up to one gigabyte (1 GB) of memory.

The new reduced footprint -- or "headless" (meaning largely without graphics support) -- version of the Java SE platform requires only 23 MB of storage space and is ideal for embedded developers who want to take advantage of the strong networking, performance, and processing capabilities of Java technology. The PowerPC version is a stable, supported version of the Java SE platform designed specifically for the PowerPC processor, which is currently in wide use among developers for larger-scale (non cell-phone) embedded devices.

Until next time...
