An Introduction to Network Programming with Java
Description
The ability to construct reliable network software is a vital skill for many of today's programmers and at the same time, Java's comprehensive libraries of readily-accessible network programming features ensure that Java remains at the forefront of network software development.
The 1st edition of this book provided a streamlined work that could serve as the core text on an undergraduate module and as the quick, clear, no-nonsense guide required by a IT professional. Notable amongst its features were its many code examples, screenshots and exercises. This 2nd edition retains these features and in addition includes:
- Language changes throughout the examples, largely reflecting the significant changes introduced by J2SE 5.0
- Comprehensive update of support software, particularly that used for Web applications
- New material, such as non-blocking servers and the use of the DataSource interface and Data Access Objects (DAOs) for connecting to remote databases

From the reviews of the second edition:"This book provides an overview of Java . . Each chapter is supplemented with practical programming exercises. . This is essentially a good book. . the combination of code templates with good supporting discussions allows a competent Java programmer to rapidly expand his or her skill base to include network programming."
