Java Network Programming

by Harold

The new third edition of this highly regarded introduction to Java networking programming has been thoroughly revised to cover all of the 100+ significant updates to Java Developers Kit (JDK) 1.5. It is a clear, complete introduction to developing network programs (both applets and applications) using Java, covering everything from networking fundamentals to remote method invocation (RMI). Java Network Programming, 3rd Edition includes chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting protocol and content handlers, servlets, multithreaded network programming, I/O, HTML parsing and display, the Java Mail API, and the Java Secure Sockets Extension. There's also significant information on the New I/O API that was developed in large part because of the needs of network programmers. This invaluable book is a complete, single source guide to writing sophisticated network applications. Packed with useful examples, it is the essential resource for any serious Java developer. About the Author Elliotte Rusty Harold is a noted writer and programmer, both on and off the Internet. He started by writing FAQ lists for the Macintosh newsgroups on Usenet, and has since branched out into books, web sites, and newsletters. He's currently fascinated by Java, which is beginning to consume his life. His Cafe Au Lait web site at http://sunsite.unc.edu/javafaq/ is a frequently visited Java site. Elliotte resides in New York City with his wife Beth and cat Possum. When not writing about Java, he enjoys genealogy, mathematics, and quantum mechanics, and has been known to try to incorporate these subjects into his computer books (when he can slip them past his editors). So far he hasn't been able to, but he suspects that a short, last-minute biography might not be inspected as closely as the rest of a manuscript. His previous book is Java Developer's Resource from Prentice Hall. J. Steven Perry

[Evil Threads · Rating 3 out of 5]

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Would have been a good book but very out of date.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 Out of date networking packages.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...

[Laurent]

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