| Java Network
Programming, by Elliotte Rusty Harold |
Book Description
Java Network Programming is a complete introduction to developing network programs (both
applets and applications) using Java, covering everything from networking fundamentals to
remote method invocation (RMI). It includes chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting
protocol and content handlers, and servlets, part of the new Server API. Java Network
Programming also covers what you can do without explicitly writing network code: how you
can accomplish your goals using URLs and the basic capabilities of applets. This
book serves as my reference for sockets programming with Java. However, I'd like to
point out that the information on servlets is a bit dated. The servlet API was still
in beta form at the time of the book's publication. The servlet concepts presented
in the book are correct, there are only minor changes to the package names.
This is an excellent book for a developer creating socket based applications. |

| Java Distributed
Computing, by Jim Farley |
Book Description
Java Distributed Computing discusses how to design and write distributed applications in
Java. It covers Java's RMI (Remote Method Invocation) facility and CORBA, but it doesn't
stop there; it tells you how to design your own protocols to build message-passing
systems, discusses how to use Java's security facilities, how to write multithreaded
servers, and more. It pays special attention to distributed data systems,
collaboration, and applications that have high bandwidth requirements. This
book serves as a good introduction to distributed computing. However, it does not go
into the details of RMI or CORBA. In fact, there are number of books that soley
discuss Java and CORBA. Use this book as a start and complete your bookshelf with
additional reference books.

to create Beans that can be saved and restored properly, how to take advantage to
introspection to provide more information about a Bean's capabilities, how to provide
property editors and customizers that manipulate a Bean in sophisticated ways.This
text served as my introduction to JavaBeans. The text is written in a manner that is
very understandable and easy to follow. Using the information presented in the book,
I was able to quickly create my own custom JavaBeans.
