Java Network Programming
- Share to:
In the last 10 years, network programming has stopped being the province of a few specialists and become a core part of every developer’s toolbox. Today, more pro- grams are network aware than aren’t. Besides classic applications like email, web browsers, and Telnet clients, most major applications have some level of networking built in. For example:
• Text editors like BBEdit save and open files directly from FTP servers. • IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA communicate with CVS repositories. • Word processors like Microsoft Word open files from URLs. • Antivirus programs like Norton AntiVirus check for new virus definitions by connecting to the vendor’s web site every time the computer is started. • Music players like Winamp and iTunes upload CD track lengths to CDDB and download the corresponding track titles. • Gamers playing Quake gleefully frag each other in real time. • Supermarket cash registers running IBM SurePOS ACE communicate with their store’s server in real time with each transaction. The server uploads its daily receipts to the chain’s central computers each night. • Schedule applications like Microsoft Outlook automatically synchronize calendars with other employees in the company.
