Overview of this book

Java is one of the most preferred languages among developers. It is used in everything right from smartphones and game consoles to even supercomputers, and its new features simply add to the richness of the language. This book on Java programming begins by helping you learn how to install the Java Development Kit. You’ll then focus on understanding object-oriented programming (OOP), with exclusive insights into concepts such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, which will help you when programming for real-world apps. Next, you’ll cover fundamental programming structures of Java such as data structures and algorithms that will serve as the building blocks for your apps with the help of sample programs and practice examples. You’ll also delve into core programming topics that will assist you with error handling, debugging, and testing your apps. As you progress, you’ll move on to advanced topics such as Java libraries, database management, and network programming and also build a sample project to help you understand the applications of these concepts. By the end of this Java book, you’ll not only have become well-versed with Java 17 but also gained a perspective into the future of this language and have the skills to code efficiently with best practices.

TCP-based communication

TCP was designed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the 1970s for use in the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET). It complements IP and, thus, is also referred to as TCP/IP. The TCP protocol, even by its name, indicates that it provides reliable (that is, error-checked or controlled) data transmission. It allows the ordered delivery of bytes in an IP network and is widely used by the web, email, secure shell, and file transfer.

An application that uses TCP/IP is not even aware of all the handshaking that takes place between the socket and the transmission details – such as network congestion, traffic load balancing, duplication, and even the loss of some IP packets. The underlying protocol implementation of the transport layer detects these problems, resends the data, reconstructs the order of the sent packets, and minimizes network congestion.

In contrast to the UDP protocol, TCP/IP-based communication...
