good reference
. I bought it to prepare my class

It was a good reference to me.

Excellent Book
As you all know, Java Network Programming is a vast subject, on which a single book can make no justice of. This book is certainly a good reference book for me when I need to know about network programming using Java. But Elliotte has tried and he is successful with this book.

I liked his treatment of Multicasting, NIO, Threads and reaped a lot of benefit reading these chapters. I particularly liked his treatment of NIOs.

Elliotte is an educator and his books on XML have been fantastic. As a teacher, I am sure he knows how to write books.

This book caters to beginners and intermediate programmers who want a good reference book on Java N/W programming. The expert programmers can always read the Javadocs on the Sun website and other generic network books.

Comprehensive reference (3rd Edition)
The author does a great job describing not only how Java handles network programming, but the concepts and details of network programming in general. If you're doing anything with Java and Network I/O programming, the topic will most likely be covered in this book. The book takes the core java. net classes and describes each method, what it does, how to use it, what to watch for, code examples, etc - it takes the API Javadoc and expands upon it.

It's a great Java Network API reference book.
