This was one of my top pick when I browsed the library for network programming in Java. The excitement came with the big-bang title, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

Rating: - just what i was looking for!
This is just the book for people wanting to learn network
programming in java. In just about two weeks I was able to

This book is a must for anyone who is seriously into java
or network programming.
Lucidly written, its a pleasure to read. There are lot
of good examples to aid ones understanding of the subject.
Again, this book is a must!
