It's a new year and time to learn a new Java technology. This month, DanielBrookshier will give a presentation on JXTA, a Peer-to-Peer (P2P)technology. The talk will cover the basics of JXTA and an example of how to use the technology and some new code to ease P2P development. This presentation is brand new and contains a lot of information not seen before.

What is JXTA? JXTA expands computing away from web servers to the millions of computers all over the Internet. JXTA is also the easiest networking technology for anyone to learn, write, and deploy because all you need is an Internet connection to make it work (it is a free technology that runs essentially for free because there is no hosting requirements).

Why learn JXTA? JXTA is the "every man" technology and it is already becoming a standard for development in many companies. JXTA is being adopted by thousands of Java developers throughout the world. The reason? JXTA is powerful, cheaper than server-based systems, and it can take advantage of the millions of computers on the Internet in homes and businesses. JXTA is simply a communications technology like TCP/IP but includes many services for finding and connecting a PC to one or more computers anywhere on the Internet. Any application can be written to use JXTA to expand its reach beyond the PC and there are no barriers to what you can develop.
