Most Internet applications use sockets to implement network communication protocols. TCP/IP Sockets in Java: Practical Guide for Programmers, with its focused, tutorial-based coverage, helps you master the tasks and techniques essential to virtually all client-server projects using sockets in Java. Later chapters teach you to implement more specialized functionality; incisive discussions of programming constructs and protocol implementations equip you with a deeper understanding that is invaluable for meeting future challenges. No other resource presents so concisely or so effectively the exact material you need to get up and running with Java sockets programming right away.
For those who program using the C language, be sure to check out this book's companion, TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers.

*Concise, no-nonsense explanations of issues often troublesome for students, including message construction and parsing, underlying mechanisms and Java I/O
*Comprehensive example-based coverage of the most important TCP/IP techniques-including iterative and threaded servers, timeouts and asynchronous message processing
*Includes a detailed, easy-to-use reference to the relevant JAVA class libraries
*A companion Web site provides online code for all the example programs given in the book
*Provides a guide to common errors and a reference offeringdetailed documentation of the sockets interface
*Perfect for a practitioner who may even want just to "look into" this technology.
*Provides tutorial-based instuction in key sockets programming techniques, focusing exclusively on Jva and complemented by example code.
*Covers challenging sockets programming issues: message construction and parsing, underlying TCP/IP protocol mechanisms, Java I/O, iterate and threaded servers, and timeouts.
*Includes references to the relevant Java class libraries that often go beyond the "official" Java documentation in clarity and explanation.
*Provides code for all example programs, along with additional exercises, via companion Web site.

Kenneth L. Calvert is an associate professor at University of Kentucky, where he teaches and does research on the design and implementation of computer network protocols. He has been doing networking research since 1987, and teaching since 1991. He holds degrees from MIT, Stanford, and the University of Texas at Austin. Michael J. Donahoo teaches networking to undergraduate and graduate students at Baylor University, where he is an assistant professor. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests are in large-scale information dissemination and management.
"TCP/IP Sockets in Java is a concise, no-fluff guide to low-level
network programming in Java. Packed with example code, this book
will be indispensable to anyone who wants to understand the finer
points of using sockets in Java. Ken and Jeff are not only experts,
but also are able to explain practical details clearly. Highly
recommended!" --Keith Edwards, Xerox PARC
"This guide is exactly what I needed for both my introductory and
my advanced networking courses: an efficient and effective
description of network programming using sockets in Java, that is
also inexpensive enough to be a supplement for my other course
materials. Additionally, one-third of this book goes far beyond the
typical examples by providing a clear description of exactly how to
send and receive data of various types." --Chris
Edmondson-Yurkanan, The University of Texas at Austin
