NETWORK PROGRAMMING WITH VISUAL J++ shows how to extend the power of Visual J++ with coverage of every essential area of network application development. The developers of Visual J++ will be introduced to network programming for the Internet, and will then explore ways to use Visual J++ to employ and extend the Java network package. Sample network applications include chat, broadcast, and Ping. Examples are thoroughly discussed, with advantages of different techniques demonstrated, such as using Visual C++(r) and Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Libraries to create a custom socket implementation.
