Since the second edition of this text, the use of the Internet and networks generally has continued to expand at a phenomenal rate. This has led to both an increase in demand for network software and to improvements in the technology used to run such networks, with the latter naturally leading to changes in the former. During this time, the Java libraries have been updated to keep up with the new developments in network technology, so that the Java programming language continues to be one of the mainstays of network software development.In providing a very readable text that avoids getting immersed in low-level technical details, while still providing a useful, practical guide to network programming for both undergraduates and busy IT professionals, this third edition continues the trend of its predecessors. To retain its currency, the text has been updated to reflect changes that have taken place in Java's network technology over the past seven years (including the release of Java 7), whilst retaining its notable features of numerous code examples, screenshots and end-of-chapter exercises.

Up and Running with C++ provides the reader with a quick guide to the fundamental concepts of object orientation and the implementation of those concepts in the C++ programming language. No prior knowledge of either C or C++ is assumed on the part of the reader, though it is assumed that the reader will be familiar with the basic programming concepts of sequence, selection and iteration. Starting from this rudimentary base, the reader is introduced to C++ programming features in a manner which avoids overly technical detail and which builds up his/her knowledge of C++ in a systematic and cohesive manner. Throughout the book, examples are used to illustrate the material and each chapter contains a series of programming exercises, with full working solutions provided at the end of the book. A very reader-friendly text introducing C++ and the basics of object orientation, this book will be a valuable guide for students and practitioners alike.
