Summary

Through two previous editions, Java Network Programming has stood as the single source, soup-to-nuts introduction to developing networked programs with Java-both applets and applications. Now we offer a thoroughly revised and updated guide to accommodate the exciting changes that come with Java 1.5. Readers will find everything from networking fundamentals to remote method invocation (RMI), and new chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting protocol and content handlers, and servlets. There's also significant information on the New I/O API that was developed in large part because of the needs of network programmers. Any Java developer involved in network programming will want this book.

Author Biography

Elliotte Rusty Harold is originally from New Orleans to which he returns periodically in search of a decent bowl of gumbo. However, he currently resides in the University Town Center neighborhood of Irvine with his wife Beth, dog Shayna, and cats Charm (named after the quark) and Marjorie (named after his mother-in-law). He's an adjunct professor of computer science at Polytechnic University where he teaches Java, XML, and object oriented programming. He's a frequent speaker at industry conferences including Software Development, Dr. Dobb's Architecure & Design World, SD Best Practices, Extreme Markup Languages, and too many user groups to count. His open source projects include the XOM Library for processing XML with Java and the Amateur media player.
