Review From the reviews of the second edition: "This book provides an overview of Java … . Each chapter is supplemented with practical programming exercises. … This is essentially a good book. … the combination of code templates with good supporting discussions allows a competent Java programmer to rapidly expand his or her skill base to include network programming." (M. S. Joy, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (3), March, 2008) From the Back Cover The continually expanding popularity of both the Internet and local intranets means that the ability to construct reliable network software is a vital skill for many of today's programmers. At the same time, Java's comprehensive libraries of readily-accessible network programming features ensure that Java remains at the forefront of network software development. The first edition of An Introduction to Network Programming with Java provided a 'streamlined' work that could serve equally well as the core text on an undergraduate module and as the quick, clear, 'no-nonsense' guide required by a busy IT professional. Notable amongst its features were its numerous code examples, screenshots and end-of-chapter exercises. The second edition retains these features, but builds upon the success of the original text by introducing the following changes and additions: • Language changes throughout the examples (and the model solutions on the Web site), largely reflecting the significant changes introduced by J2SE 5.0; • Comprehensive update of support software, particularly that used for Web applications; • New material, such as non-blocking servers and the use of the DataSource interface and Data Access Objects (DAOs) for connecting to remote databases; • CD-ROM includes J2SE 5.0 and all code for the chapter examples.   Jan Graba is a Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, where he has specialised in the teaching of network programming with Java for the past five years.

Review The author raises essential issues at stake and brings the necessary expertise and experience identifying the challenges and proposing recommendations of great value…—Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President, 2009 Ding explores new management solutions, paradigms, protocols, and techniques that are being developed to keep up with the increasing size and complexity of computer and communication networks. His treatment ranges from basic concepts to research level material, and is suitable for researchers, advanced students, professional network managers, and network designers and planners. He covers the evolution of networks and of network management, theories and techniques for network management, managing emerging networks and services, and autonomic computing and self-management.—Book News, June 2010 This book deals with different network management techniques. It presents theory and practice related to commonly used as well as new protocols. The author describes management systems architectures and corresponding standards. He explains, in detail, how protocol components communicate with each other. All parts of the book are supported by diagrams which help the reader to understand complex issues of network resources management. … This book is a good source for every computer specialist who really wants to broaden his/her knowledge of computer network administration.—Jozef Woźniak (Gdańsk) in Zentralblatt MATH, 1196-1 About the Author University of Luxembourg

Amazon.com Review Living in an era of instant communication has certain drawbacks. Not too long ago, the living was simpler. People had one or two telephone numbers, a street address, and access to four or five television channels. Now, we have phone numbers for home, work, mobile phone, fax machine, and pager. We have multiple e-mail addresses. We have access to unlimited information over the Internet. With digital cable or a personal satellite dish, we choose from hundreds of television channels. The communication technology behind this revolution continues to evolve--becoming faster, cheaper, and more prolific. What technology is behind the scenes, and how does all of this information get delivered? That is the question that's answered by this remarkable tome, Ray Horak's Communications Systems & Networks. Horak explains communication technologies in 15 chapters, using the growing convergence of voice, data, and video as the narrative thread that holds the book together. He starts at the beginning--telegraph and early telephone--and details the progression from analog voice signals to modern high-speed digital networks. Along the way, he emphasizes technical breadth. For exhaustive detail on any one subject, Horak enumerates relevant sources and suggests additional reading at the end of each chapter. This feature makes this book the ideal place to start when researching any communications topic. Another good thing about this book is its pragmatic approach to communications. Horak blends a high-level view of the subject with implementation and deployment issues, as well as the relative costs of different technologies. This book is valuable for both engineers and managers. It's a perfect resource for inquisitive engineers who are well versed about one area of communications and want to explore the rest of the communications world. For a manager who wants a technical overview of a given subject, the depth is perfect--just enough knowledge to become dangerous. The conversational style of the book also is a welcome touch. In contrast to technical books that require a can of Jolt to stay awake, Horak presents complex material concisely. Historical perspective is integrated with technical details, and reflects the author's many years of experience. Topics such as the Telecommunication Act of 1996 are explained in the context of technological change, and give the reader a comprehensive overview of virtually all communication technologies. This book is the perfect complement to such industry mainstays as Perlman's , Comer's , and Tanenbaum's . --Pete Ostenson Review Perfect for communications professionals and baffled novices...features plain-English explanations for all the technical fundamentals of networking... -- Teleconnect magazine, June 2000
