Don't Be So Lazy
. What can I say? If someone would even consider returning a book (and jumping to a two-star review) because the authors didn't make the source code available and feels it a waste of time to type and debug the code then perhaps this individual should consider a different career than programming -- one that requires less typing.

A second look
I changed my rating from two to four stars. After reading more I decided to keep the book. I want to be fair to the book; It is much better than initially stated. In terms of the source code. . . it is not too much of an issue; the code is compact and to the point (still better if they provided the code).

I did buy Practical UNIX Programming and are using both books. Along with UNIX System V Network Programming by Rago, I have the necessary stepping-stones into the Steven's Books (TCP 1-3, Advanced UNIX, UNIX Network Programming Vol1-2, etc).

Good book

As an alternative. A good technical book; A stepping-stone into Advanced UNIX Programming by Steven's.. . I purchased Practical UNIX Programming by Kay A. Robbins, Steven Robbins, Kay, Ret Robbins. It is better priced and hardcover. The Contents are compatible to the above book and full source-code is on the Web.
