Java Network Programming

This practical guide provides a complete introduction to developing network programs with Java. You€ll learn how to use Java€s network class library to quickly and easily accomplish common networking tasks such as writing multithreaded servers, encrypting communications, broadcasting to the local network, and posting data to server-side programs.

Author Elliotte Rusty Harold provides complete working programs to illustrate the methods and classes he describes. This thoroughly revised fourth edition covers REST, SPDY, asynchronous I/O, and many other recent technologies.

• Explore protocols that underlie the Internet, such as TCP/IP and UDP/IP
• Learn how Java€s core I/O API handles network input and output
• Discover how the InetAddress class helps Java programs interact with DNS
• Locate, identify, and download network resources with Java€s URI and URL classes
• Dive deep into the HTTP protocol, including REST, HTTP headers, and cookies
• Write servers and network clients, using Java€s low-level socket classes
• Manage many connections at the same time with the nonblocking I/O
