Java Network Programming: Developing Networked Applications

by Elliotte Rusty Harold

This practical guide provides a complete introduction to developing network programs with Java. You'll learn how to use Java's network class library to quickly and easily accomplish common networking tasks such as writing multithreaded servers, encrypting communications, broadcasting to the local network, and posting data to server-side programs.

Author Elliotte Rusty Harold provides complete working programs to illustrate the methods and classes he describes. This thoroughly revised fourth edition covers REST, SPDY, asynchronous I/O, and many other recent technologies. Explore protocols that underlie the Internet, such as TCP/IP and UDP/IP Learn how Java's core I/O API handles network input and output Discover how the InetAddress class helps Java programs interact with DNS Locate, identify, and download network resources with Java's URI and URL classes Dive deep into the HTTP protocol, including REST, HTTP headers, and cookies Write servers and network clients, using Java's low-level socket classes Manage many connections at the same time with the nonblocking I/O

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Would have been a good book but very out of date.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 Out of date networking packages.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Read to refresh my knowledge of Java, but it's too outdated & too many not necessary details - it looks like it was written for person, who're never heard about networking & related things...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