Poorly written! Incomplete! Some good useful examples! Unfortunately nothing better up there!,
By Mile (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Network Programming in NET with C# and Visual Basic.NET (Paperback)
A poorly written book!
It appears as if the author chose his chapter headings and section titles well to make it look at first glance like an in depth material covering a broad range of subjects. However, if you read the book you will notice that each section starts with a poor superficial introduction of the subject matter with absolutely no in depth material, followed by a very good example. I must say that most of his examples work, but you will have to scratch your head to know why. He doesn't even comment on his own code other than in a superficial way. I tried to search for a good book on the subject and couldn't after a year of using this one. Being this the only valid source up there, you probably won't have a choice but to get it. It'll get you started, but you will end up having to purchase another book to complete your knowledge.

As reviewed in VSJ magazine (september 2004),
This review is from: Network Programming in NET with C# and Visual Basic.NET (Paperback)
This is a clearly written and interesting account of network programming using both VB.NET and C#. The use of both languages saves the publisher cost and risk of two editions of the same book but puts the reader to the cost of buying redundant pages. Given that C# and VB.NET are so close anyway, and most of the work is done by the common class library, it hardly seems worth the space given to listings in both languages. It's about time Microsoft decided which of its redundant languages was the one to go for ( as if we didn't know already ).Returning to the book in hand. It is occasionally too low level - if you need to be told how to use Visual Studio then you probably aren't up to learning about network programming. Slowly this tendency to deal with the simple dies away, and we are left with some interesting descriptions of TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP, Remoting and web services. It also covers less common protocols such as telephony, MSMQ, IPv6 and low-level packet protocols. The examples are all described in short sections interleaved with text. The discussions are relaxed and informal and the author isn't afraid of upsetting people by pointing out the defects and restrictions of the technologies. This makes the book highly recommended, especially if you're interested in implementing any networking features using the ,NET framework

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent intro to networking tasks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Network Programming in NET with C# and Visual Basic.NET (Paperback)
I really like this book, as it provides simple examples of how to do networking tasks without huge technical explanations, very useful for developers such as myself in the real world who don't have time for ploughing through extended theory sessions before getting to the end result.Another reviewer has mentioned the lack of complete source code as a reason for giving this book one star. I say, you were supposed to be giving a book review, not a customer service survey. Anyway I spent about half an hour typing in the TCP/IP server code from the book and it all worked fine (and actually, typing it in, you learn more anyway).
