Mastering JXTA: Building Java Peer-to-Peer Applications

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive guide and real examples
Review: One of the most striking things about this book is the inclusion of real-world examples. Those who have used the distributed.net application will like the chapter that uses JXTA to build a framework for distributing computations.

The chapter on building a three-tier encrypted storage system shows the power of the JXTA specification and JAVA implementation.

I highly recommend this book for learning JXTA. The writing is clear and the numerous examples will have you coding peer-to-peer applications in short order.

Summary: Build Real-World Apps Now
Review: Probably the best book I've read on how to build a p2p application. Covers all of the basics, with a very clear introduction to JXTA and related technologies. But the best parts for me were the tutorials showing how to build real-word apps from beginning to end. The detailed code examples really helped me in developing my own p2p project. Definitely worth the price of admission.
