The field of network programming is so large, and developing so
rapidly, that it can appear almost overwhelming to those new to the
discipline.
Answering the need for an accessible overview of the field, this
text/reference presents a manageable introduction to both the
theoretical and practical aspects of computer networks and network
programming. Clearly structured and easy to follow, the book
describes cutting-edge developments in network architectures,
communication protocols, and programming techniques and models,
supported by code examples for hands-on practice with creating
network-based applications.
Topics and features: presents detailed coverage of network
architectures, including the latest wireless heterogeneous
networks, communication protocols, and support for
communication-based services; gently introduces the reader to the
basic ideas underpinning computer networking, before gradually
building up to more advanced concepts; provides numerous
step-by-step descriptions of practical examples in tandem with the
theoretical discussions; examines a range of network programming
techniques, from server-side and client-side solutions to advanced
client-server communication models; reviews network-based data
storage and multimedia transfer; includes an extensive set of
practical code examples, together with detailed comments and
explanations.
This comprehensive and authoritative guide is an invaluable
asset for all researchers interested in computer networking,
whether they wish to understand the underlying architectures and
paradigms, or to obtain useful advice on building
communication-based programs. Advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students will also find the book to be an excellent
supplementary textbook for modules on network programming.
