Release NotesThe networking capabilities of the Java platform have been extended considerably
since the first edition of the book. This new edition covers version 1.5-1.7,
the most current iterations, as well as making the following improvements:

The API (application programming interface) reference sections in each chapter,
which describe the relevant parts of each class, have been replaced with (i) a
summary section that lists the classes and methods used in the code, and (ii) a
?gotchas? section that mentions nonobvious or poorly-documented aspects of the
objects.

In addition, the book covers several new classes and capabilities introduced in
the last few revisions of the Java platform. New abstractions to be covered
include NetworkInterface, InterfaceAddress, Inet4/6Address,
SocketAddress/InetSocketAddress, Executor, and others; extended access to low-
level network information; support for IPv6; more complete access to socket
options; and scalable I/O. The example code is also modified to take advantage
of new language features such as annotations, enumerations, as well as generics
and implicit iterators where appropriate.

Most Internet applications use sockets to implement network communication
protocols. This book's focused, tutorial-based approach helps the reader master
the tasks and techniques essential to virtually all client-server projects using
sockets in Java. Chapter 1 provides a genral overview of networking concepts to
allow readers to synchronize the concepts with terminology. Chapter 2 introduces
the mechanics of simple clients and servers. Chapter 3 covers basic message
construction and parsing. Chapter 4 then deals with techniques used to build
morerobust clients and servers. Chapter 5 (NEW) introduces the scalable
interface facilities which were introduced in Java 1.5, including the buffer and
channel abstractions. Chapter 6 discusses the relationship between the
programming constructs and the underlying protocol implementations in more
detail. Programming concepts are introduced through simple program examples
accompanied by line-by-line code commentary that describes the purpose of every
part of the program. The book's Web site contains many examples of command-based
sockets-related code discussed throughout the book. No other resource presents
so concisely or so effectively the material necessary to get up and running with
Java sockets programming.
