I'm not ready to waste time on book so packed with javadoc info. Why should i know about all the possible constructors of InetAddress or Socket? It's possible to find all info about them in online documentation.

Thread discussion is very dry - author doesn't even mention new java 1.5 concurrent classes like executor or callable.

So my verdict is don't waste your money - buy yourself a Java NIO book instead.

If you are interested in gaining the required theory to do network programming in Java, get this book.

I find it presents a very good background material on topics related to network programming (like basic IO and Thread programming) that are not usually addressed in network programming books.

The author also provides simple (but complete) source code examples to make a point very clear.

If you are serious about Java in general, this is a good tool to add to your box.

Media reviews
"Java Network Programming is an excellent book for those looking for specific help and information on some of the pertinent Java networking APIs, or APIs used directly in networked programming (like IO, threads, etc)...The book is written in an easy to read, conversational style that is quite pleasant (even funny at times) and very informative. There are many code examples throughout, which in my view is very essential for any kind of programming book. "
-- Jeff Salter, Sacramento Java User Group (SacJUG)
