Review at JavaMUG


David Reilly writes " It offers considerably expanded coverage of the Java networking API, for the Java 2 platform. The authors build on chapters from the previous book...Readers unfamiliar with network programming, and the intricacies of sockets, are guided fairly gently through the process...As networking books go, Java Network Programming 2Ed is close to the top...you won't find a book that can beat it..."
     --Java Coffee Break

"The authors have improved the coverage of Java I/O in this edition which was already the best to be found anywhere."
     --Michael Brundage, Senior Software Engineer, Interferometry Science Center, Caltech

"This updated version makes a great book even better"
     --Victor A. Brennen, Network Applications Programmer, University of Florida

"...practical examples make it great for client/server programmers. I recommend it highly."
     --Michael Andreano,Systems Analyst, Merck & Co., Inc

"No other book provides a better 'lay of the land' explanation of networking infrastructure and protocols."
     --Claude Duguay, Software Engineering Manager, Atrieva Corp.

"Overall, a good introduction to Java networking."
     --JavaRanch.com

DESCRIPTION

The first edition of Java Network Programming was acclaimed by readers as an outstanding networking reference. It provided complete details of the Java platform's support for networking and I/O with extensive API coverage and sophisticated examples.

This second edition is strengthened with complete coverage of JDK 1.2 and many more practical examples. Unlike other books in the field, Java Network Programming, 2nd Edition goes well beyond simple examples to show how to develop robust, efficient real-world applications.
