Synopsis

With the explosion in growth of the internet and the increasing use of intranets across a wide spectrum of business areas, there has been a correspondingly large growth of interest in network programming, particularly in the use of client-server applications.  Java's inbuilt network programming capabilities and its platform independence have made it a natural choice for network applications and it has, quite rightly, been referred to as 'the language of the internet'. Exceptionally difficult and fraught with pitfalls in most languages, the programming of network applications is greatly eased by the use of Java libraries.
An Introduction to Network Programming using Java is a streamlined text that provides clear guidance on all essential aspects of network programming that might be expected to appear on the syllabus of an undergraduate module in this area. Areas covered include file handling, JDBC, servlets, JavaBeans and Java Server Pages.

With the growth of the Internet and the increasing use of intranets across a broad spectrum of business areas, there has been a correspondingly large growth of interest in network programming, particularly in the use of client-server applications. Java's inbuilt network programming capabilities and its platform independence have made it a natural choice for network applications and it has, quite rightly, been referred to as 'the language of the internet'. Exceptionally difficult and fraught with pitfalls in most languages, the programming of network applications is greatly eased by the use of the Java libraries.

An Introduction to Network Programming with Javaprovides clear and practical guidance on all the essential aspects of network programming with Java, including the use of sockets, JDBC, servlets, JavaBeans, applets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs). The aim is to enable both students and professional programmers to pick up these vital skills as rapidly as possible, by providing clearly-worded explanations accompanied by short example programs that avoid the inclusion of extraneous code and concentrate upon the relevant concepts.

Key features

• Uses a step-by-step approach to provide the student with a clear introduction to the subject of network programming.

• Employs numerous examples throughout that serve to illustrate the relevant network programming concepts.

• Is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing the J2SDKv1.3, servlet API, JavaServer Web Development Kit (JSWDK), JavaBean Development Kit (BDK), Java Media Framework (JMF), HTMLConverter and code for all the examples used in the book

The book is intended for those taking a course in network programming as well as those interested in the capabilities of Java and the Internet.
