This book was boring but it was full of useful information and good code.

[Frank Palardy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Would have been a good book but very out of date. Supposed to be a new edition but still references aol. Out of date networking packages.

[Bengt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good examples, easy to read and digest.
Can definitely be used as a cookbook/reference in the future.
I recommend it to anyone who is doing network development in Java in the future.
It briefly discusses different types of concurrency and asynchronous programming.

[Alex Ott · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read to refresh my knowledge of Java, but it's too outdated & too many not necessary details - it looks like it was written for person, who're never heard about networking & related things...

Easy read, not much else on the topic at the time. Not something I would recommend today.
