Chapter 17: Network Code Patterns in Java

---

Introduction

In this chapter, we look at simple socket-based Java applications using the Java Socket APIs and Java’s derivative helper classes. These applications can serve as implemented software patterns for the construction of more advanced networking applications.

Note 

All software discussed here is also provided on the companion CD-ROM. Table 17.1 lists the applications and their locations on the CD-ROM.
