Product Description
Product Description
The book provides complete coverage of fundamental IP networking in Java. It introduces the concepts behind TCP/IP and UDP and their intended use and purpose; gives complete coverage of Java networking APIs, includes an extended discussion of advanced server design, so that the various design principles and tradeoffs concerned are discussed and equips the reader with analytic queuing-theory tools to evaluate design alternatives; covers UDP multicasting, and covers multi-homed hosts, leading the reader to understand the extra programming steps and design considerations required in such environments. After reading this book the reader will have an advanced knowledge of fundamental network design and programming concepts in the Java language, enabling them to design and implement distributed applications with advanced features and to predict their performance. Special emphasis is given to the scalable I/O facilities of Java 1.4 as well as complete treatments of multi-homing and UDP both unicast and multicast.
From the Author
I wrote this book because of my deep dissatisfaction with the existing Java texts and with Sun's javadoc, as evidenced on the Java Developer Connection forums on which I am pretty well-known. Most of these books try to cover all known aspects of Java networking and IPC in 1280 pages with screen shots, and do it very badly. Some of the smaller books are more specialized but I'm afraid that every one of them I have examined is riddled with errors and irrelevancies, including some very well-known titles indeed. In this book I have aimed at being as correct and authoritative as W.R. Stevens in his TCP/IP Illustrated and Unix Network Programming books, which are constantly by my side.

Very thorough coverage of a neglected topic
16 Sep 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book describes its subject from the basics of the underlying IP networking technologies (including both TCP and UDP) all the way up through the "traditional" socket classes to the new Channel classes.
Personally I particularly benefitted from the discussion of channels and the rest of the NIO (New IO) package, but I believe that the solid coverage of Java networking basics in tandem with the comprehensive description of the available libraries makes this both a good introductory text and a good reference to the more obscure niches. It helps that while there are quite a few reference tables and lengthy discussion sections this is still a hands-on book with plenty of code examples.
Not quite suitable for a complete Java beginner - but any novice developer with a grip on syntax and the core API would benefit from this.

Software Engineers - must have.
30 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
I have never read a more concise but clearly written technical book, and the code looks beautiful too. Pretty much every software engineer needs this book.
If you absolutely know what you are doing it reduces the solution time for most known problems from hours to minutes. If you are not all that clued up about IP but want/need to be, this is the book. Fundamental Networking in Java could just as easily be just called Fundamental Networking.
I expect this book will become the standard text in Software Engineering courses on Networking. And if your course has a different text, this book is probably a better choice. It will be one of the very few textbooks that will survive your transition into the working world.
And the beauty of this book is that because it is written in crystal clear english it is also very useful to a much wider audience - technology manager, business analyst, etcetera.

Excellent book on networking
17 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book on Networking in Java. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn sockets, TCP/IP and UDP. Just make sure you have the API available when you're reading this book.
