Good Book Good Service

The book was delivered to me so quick. It contained in the good package. so, i could say this guy is really good for the product and service.

Loved it

If you are a programmer looking for a comprehensive P2P book 'not' based on 'jxta', then this might just be the one for you. One thing i particularly like about this book is that you get two fully working P2P applicaitons, with a choice of development languages between Java and C#. At the time of writing this review, C# is not as big as Java, but someday it might be, and the choice of C# just shows the insight of the authors and developers involved with this book.I have this book, one of the very first of my P2P collection, and i don't think you would be disappointed with it either.Have fun.

Exactly what I want

Hi, I'm a programmer and had consulted many books on P2P technology, but no book is able to give me a complete conprehensive application development life cycle of a P2P application. I'm very glad to have this book at my disposal. I should recommend all my friends and collegues to have this book. The P2P technology is covered in very detailed possible manner. The chatting and streaming application are also very good. Well the thing I like most is the globalized printing, with which i can able to print my documents worldwide. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT CONTAINS TWO VERSIONS OF THE COMPLETE INDUSTRIAL STANDARD P2P APPLICATION (LIKE NAPSTER) ONE IS JAVA AND OTHER IN C# AND BOTH ARE COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER WITH A CENTRAL SERVER IN BETWEEN. I WAS LOKKING FOR A BOOK LIKE THIS AND AT LAST I GOT IT !!!!

just what i was looking for

first book of its kind. this is the only book which helps u out comprehensively. the book has been written from programer's stand point thus covers all the possible aspects of the development cycle of any peer to peer project. it helped me out the most though in designing part where these people have made XML as the media for communication to make the design incredibly flexible. even more facsinating is the fact that these people instead of just saying that the design is flexible or just making it look flexible have tailored a de-facto flexible design to make use of this flexibility while incorporating new add-ons towards the end of the book. Pragmatic coverage of the usability of windows media technologies in Peer-to-Peer scenario is a bonus.

Top of the world

This book covers a very detailed level of a P2P file sharing application. I think these 5 starts are very less, if there wuould be 10 starts than i wuould have give all the 10 to this book. Marevellous blen of the P2P technology. It offers the various achievements in form of examples of the P2P. No else book covers any topic of P2P Technology like this, in a short, concise and jam packed way. Coding is very nice. With the code it helps me a lot in Developing my College project.Every Programmer should have this book with him. If he/she is a network programmer
