Mastering Jxta: Building Java Peer-To-Peer Applications

I bought the book yesterday and started off with the first chapter. The next thing I remember is that I am done with the book and I feel some degree of mastery over the subject. The author deserves a standing ovation. Dont forget to have JXTA platform API documentation and code examples to go along with your reading

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.

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.
