An Introduction to Network Programming with Java: Java 7 Compatible

An Introduction to Network Programming with Java: Java 7 Compatible

Since the second edition of this text, the use of the Internet and networks generally has continued to expand at a phenomenal rate. This has led to both an increase in demand for network software and to improvements in the technology used to run such networks, with the latter naturally leading to changes in the former. During this time, the Java libraries have been updated to keep up with the new developments in network technology, so that the Java programming language continues to be one of the mainstays of network software development.

In providing a very readable text that avoids getting immersed in low-level technical details, while still providing a useful, practical guide to network programming for both undergraduates and busy IT professionals, this third edition continues the trend of its predecessors. To retain its currency, the text has been updated to reflect changes that have taken place in Java's network technology over the past seven years (including the release of Java 7), whilst retaining its notable features of numerous code examples, screenshots and end-of-chapter exercises.

FREE online ebook: Java Enterprise Performance

Java Enterprise Performance

Performance is a topic of increasing importance for anyone who uses applications to support their business activities. Today performance engineers and architects as well as operations people have to ensure that complex application landscapes work seamlessly and problems are resolved fast and with minimal effort.

This book contains over 70 years of application performance knowledge. We, the authors have worked in this field building large scale applications and more recently application performance solutions. In addition we have developed numerous training courses, work closely with IT practitioners implementing application performance management solutions and processes, and we are regular speakers at software conference on performance-related topics.

Our goal is to provide a reference book for people like us, who are passionate about application performance and work daily on improving it. We found that while there are a lot of books about performance, a definitive reference text for day-to-day performance management is not available. We want to provide exactly this reference, where you can lookup information and quickly find the answers to your problems.
