JXTA: Java P2P Programming provides an invaluable introduction to this new
technology, filled with useful information and practical examples. It was created by
members of the JXTA community, sharing their real-world experience to introduce
developers to JXTA. It starts with the fundamentals of P2P and demonstrates how JXTA
fulfills the P2P promise, then covers the essentials of JXTA including the protocols, the
JXTA Shell, and groups. Later chapters include case studies demonstrating JXTA to
synchronize data and to create distributed applications. Includes a foreward by Juan
Carlos Soto, Group Marketing Manager for Project JXTA at Sun Microsystems and the
jxta.org Open Source Community Manager.
