JXTA in a Nutshell

Meer over het boek

Scott Oaks, lead author of O'Reilly's new JXTA in a Nutshell, emphasizes that fundamental scalability and centralization forces are limiting the Internet's growth. Peer-to-peer networks like JXTA are crucial for advancing the Internet's scalability, management, and security, enabling unrestricted information exchange among peers and accommodating new consumer devices. Written by key members of Sun Microsystems' Project JXTA, this work serves as the definitive reference for the most robust platform for Peer-to-Peer distributed computing. P2P allows users with the same networking application to connect and access files directly from each other's hard drives, marking a significant advancement in P2P technology. O'Reilly's pioneering reference provides comprehensive information for getting started, including an overview of P2P distributed computing, details about the JXTA Project's platform, and guidance for developers wishing to contribute to the effort. It introduces major concepts in a practical manner, explaining them in the context of the shell, and includes a complete reference to the JXTA application bindings, along with the full JXTA protocol specification. The book also addresses critical topics such as security and the integration of JXTA technology with standard Java classes.
