I'm in my senior year of college and having quite a bit of experience with textbook, I can say with confidence that this is one of the better textbooks out there. I was required to use this book for my networking programming class. You can definately teach yourself network programming with this book and the accompanied source examples. . . . makes a handy reference guide as well. Worth the investment for Computer Science Engineers.
Fun, Fast, Reliable
What more can I say?! Oh yea, it was reasonably priced too. Received the book in great condition in a timely manner.
What more needs to be said?
This book is very well written and explains not only the process of writing networked applications using C, but also how the actual protocols such as TCP, UDP etc work. Im an Australian final year undergrad CS student, we used this as the text for a course 'Network Programming'. This gives you a solid understanding of the 'whys' of network programming and not just the 'hows'. Overall this is a great book for those wanting to learn about network programming in Unix systems or those wanting a refresher. Highly recommended.
