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.

Excellent book on networking October 17, 2007

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.
 useful networking classes in standard java April 27, 2007

Pitt demonstrates how to connect between machines in a TCP/IP network, when at least one of the machines is running java. He explains that the standard java, which you get free from Sun comes replete with a a core set of networking classes. These free you from a lot of the grungy low level I/O issues that programmers using C and the default unix libraries have endured since the 1980s. C network programming is notorious for the amount of sweat that developers have to endure.
In contrast, the book is an easy and concise read of a compelling alternative. The java networking classes also include the ability to connect to an arbitrary URL and to download data (usually a web page). A fundamental subroutine for Web access.
Hopefully, the book will deter you from going back to C networking.
Very thorough coverage of a neglected topic September 16, 2006

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.

This book is what Im finding to develop server applications with Java language, it is filling the market gap.
Software Engineers - must have. September 30, 2005

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.
