Back Cover Copy
Java™ Network Programming and Distributed Computing is an accessible introduction to the changing face of networking theory, Java™ technology, and the fundamental elements of the Java networking API. With the explosive growth of the Internet, Web applications, and Web services, the majority of today’s programs and applications require some form of networking. Because it was created with extensive networking features, the Java programming language is uniquely suited for network programming and distributed computing.
Whether you are a Java devotee who needs a solid working knowledge of network programming or a network programmer needing to apply your existing skills to Java, this how-to guide is the one book you will want to keep close at hand. You will learn the basic concepts involved with networking and the practical application of the skills necessary to be an effective Java network programmer. An accelerated guide to networking API, Java™ Network Programming and Distributed Computing also serves as a comprehensive, example-rich reference.
You will learn to maximize the API structure through in-depth coverage of:
The architecture of the Internet and TCP/IP Java’s input/output system How to write to clients and servers using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and TCPThe advantages of multi-threaded applicationsHow to implement network protocols and see examples of client/server implementationsHTTP and how to write server-side Java applications for the WebDistributed computing technologies such as Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and CORBAHow to access e-mail using the extensive and powerful JavaMail™ API
This book’s coverage of advanced topics such as input/output streaming and multi-threading allows even the most experienced Java developers to sharpen their skills. Java™ Network Programming and Distributed Computing will get you up-to-speed with network programming today; helping you employ innovative techniques in your own software development projects.
The companion Web site, http://www.davidreilly.com/jnpbook, offers downloadable source code, a list of FAQs about Java networking, and useful links to networking resources.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Most of my experience in network programming comes from W. Richard Stevens' "UNIX Network Programming", where there's lots of detail in the TCP/IP protocol, and using C to implement it. At the time, the professor teaching the course tried to provide us with comparable programs in Java, but not having a good Java networking book to consult from was a drawback to those segues. This book serves as an excellent companion to Stevens' book, so that you can get the feel for how Java accomplishes networking capabilities. I still prefer the TCP/IP detail that Stevens' book provides, but that's mainly because I like the language independent concept of networking. I created a small client2client messaging applet, sent it to a couple of friends for testing, and enjoyed how quickly and easily it was to get it working. Java abstracts a lot of the detail away from the user, since it was designed from the get-go to include networking capabilities, and this book uses those abstractions to its advantage. I'll probably want to get my hands dirty and see how much hands-on control I can get with Java sometime later. (Reilly*2)'s book is a great way to just jump into network programming without getting your head too tangled with TCP/IP intricacies. This is not to say that the book doesn't cover those details, but it doesn't delve into them as deeply as Stevens' book does. In my view, that's a drawback to it being an absolute reference, but for many who just want to start developing client/server apps, this may be just what you're looking for.
