Java Network Programming (3rd ed) [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Who You Are

This book assumes you are comfortable with the Java language and
programming environment, in addition to object-oriented programming
in general. This book does not attempt to be a basic language
tutorial. You should be thoroughly familiar with the syntax of Java.
You should have written simple applications and applets. You should
also be comfortable with basic AWT and Swing programming. When you
encounter a topic that requires a deeper understanding for network
programming than is customaryfor instance, threads and
streamsI'll cover that topic as well, at
least briefly.

You should also be an accomplished user of the Internet. I will
assume you know how to FTP files and visit web sites. You should know
what a URL is and how you locate one. You should know how to write
simple HTML and be able to publish a home page that includes Java
applets, although you do not need to be a super web designer.

However, this book doesn't assume that you have
prior experience with network programming. You should find it a
complete introduction to networking concepts and network application
development. I don't assume that you have a few
thousand networking acronyms (TCP, UDP, SMTP, etc.) at the tip of
your tongue. You'll learn what you need to know
about these here. It's certainly possible that you
could use this book as a general introduction to network programming
with a socket-like interface, and then go on to learn WSA (the
Windows Socket Architecture) and figure out how to write network
applications in C++. But it's not clear why you
would want to: as I said earlier, Java lets you write very
sophisticated applications with ease.
