Java Network Programming

by Elliotte Rusty Harold

The network is the soul of Java. Most of what is new and exciting about Java centers around the potential for new kinds of dynamic networked applications. Java Network Programming describes the java.net package, which contains classes for communications and working with networked resources. It is a complete introduction to developing network programs (both applets and applications) using Java, covering everything from networking fundamentals to remote method invocation (RMI).Whether you're an experienced network programmer, or just want to see what's possible, you'll find Java Network Programming is a thorough guide to Java's networking potential. It covers Java 1.1, contains many complete programs (available online), and covers all aspects of basic network programming. You'll find chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting protocol and content handlers, and servlets, part of the new Server API. It also covers what you can do without explicitly writing newtork how you can accomplish your goals using URLs and the basic capabilities of applets.

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Would have been a good book but very out of date.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 Out of date networking packages.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Read to refresh my knowledge of Java, but it's too outdated & too many not necessary details - it looks like it was written for person, who're never heard about networking & related things...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.
