This is a package, including a CD-ROM, which provides an in-depth tutorial on programming networked applications with Java. It offers complete coverage of the Java networking APIs, including streams, TCP/IP and UDP/IP, with practical examples. The pack presents a cryptographic framework for developing secure Internet applications. The pack covers all Java's built-in networking capabilities, including file and filter streams, client-side and server-side TCP/IP networking, datagram networking and URL classes, showing programmers how to build secure networked applications. It presents Java's crypto framework for encrypting and hashing streams, dramatically enhancing application security. It also discusses forthcoming extensions to Java, including a remote method invocation API which provides transparent access to the methods of an object resident in a remote virtual machine, and planned CORBA compatibility.
