Networking

• One of the benefits of Java being the write once, run anywhere language is that you can write distributed programs.
• Distributed programs run on multiple computers over a network, often the Internet.
• Distributed programming is possible because of two factors: 1) Java runs on multiple platforms, and 2) Java has networking capabilities.
• Learning networking will be the foundation of servlets and JSPs to come.
• If you've done any Internet programming, you are off to a good start.
