QuickTime Java (QJT) is a terrific multimedia toolkit, but it's
also terrifying to the uninitiated. Java developers who need to add
audio, video, or interactive media creation and playback to their
applications find that QTJ is powerful, but not easy to get into.
In fact, when it comes to class-count, QuickTime Java is nearly as
large as all of Java 1.1.
Once you learn the entire scope of Apple's QuickTime software,
you really appreciate the problem. At its simplest, QuickTime
allows Mac and Windows users to play audio and video on their
computers. But QuickTime is many things: a file format, an
environment for media authoring, and a suite of applications that
includes browser plug-ins for viewing media within a web page, a
PictureViewer for working with still pictures, QuickTime Streaming
Server for delivering streaming media files on the Internet in real
time, and QuickTime Broadcaster for delivering live events on the
Internet. Among others.
As if that weren't daunting enough, the javadocs on QJT are
wildly incomplete, and other books on the topic are long out of
date and not well regarded, making progress with QTJ extremely
difficult. So what can you do? Our new hands-on guide, "QuickTime
Java: A Developer's Notebook," not only catches up with this
technology, but de-mystifies it.
This practical "all lab, no lecture" book is an informal,
code-intensive workbook that offers the first real look at this
important software. Like other titles in our Developer's Notebook
series, "QuickTime Java: A Developer's Notebook" is for impatient
early adopters who want get up to speed on what they can use right
now. It's deliberately light on theory, emphasizing example over
explanationand practice over concept, so you can focus on learning
by doing.
"QuickTime Java: A Developer's Notebook" gives you just the
functionality you need from QTJ. Even if you come to realize that
95% of the API is irrelevant to you, this book will help you master
the 5% that really counts.
