Networking in Java.

I have made Java swing games before, basic games with GUIs, and consider myself pretty accomplished there.

However, I have never tried connecting to the internet/networks and creating multiplayer games in Java, and decided to start learning.

Using the Java Net headers, one can grab urls, upload files, and much more.

The following example is one where the code grabs the hostname of an ip.

Book used: Java Network Programming 204th

I don't see myself being able to send files to a server just yet, but I believe I can learn how to use FTP/MySQL, and attempt sending files from a local host.

import java.net.*;
public class ReverseTest {
 public static void main (String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {
 InetAddress ia = InetAddress.getByName("208.201.239.100");
 System.out.println(ia.getCanonicalHostName());
 }
}
