Java 2 Networking (Java Masters Series)

Rating:
Summary: lacks decent info
Review: for those of us who are slightly beyond (and tired of) the comparisons between C++ and Java, this book presents scarcely any useful information at all. i also agree with the reviewer who believed that the author wrote with no personality - a tip to the author: try to limit the star trek jokes for the conventions - they would be appreciated more over there.

to the potential readers: try another book.

Summary: Worst read yet
Review: I am always amused by pathetic technical books but this one has got to take the cake. Well done.

Summary: dry and confused
Review: in the advanced chapters you can find some good technical stuff. However, the book is not clear and does not contain any special insights. Also it has some small technical mistakes, for example it says that threads that were instantiated using a Runnable cannot be restarted(which is not true -try for yourself). My advice is to spend your time reading a really good book on networking (like Java notwork programming by Merlin Hughes and co) and find specific technicalities in the web.
