Product Description

Review

"This book fills a void in the area of networking education. The presentation is easily accessible to students, with lots of code examples. It will be an excellent companion to traditional networking textbooks for use in undergraduate and introductory graduate courses."
-Ellen W. Zegura, Georgia Institute of Technology

"This is the best, all-in-one socket book I have read and yet it doesn't come with the unnecessary overhead of many other books. It is loaded with very useful examples and it can be used as a socket API reference as well. In a word, it is a very well written book that has everything practitioners need."
-Steve Bernier, Communications Research Center

Note: This title was formerly known as Pocket Guide to TCP/IP Socket Programming in C, ISBN 1-55860-686-6.

TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers is a quick and affordable way to gain the knowledge and skills you need to develop sophisticated and powerful networked-based programs using sockets. Written by two experienced networking instructors, this book provides a series of examples that demonstrate basic sockets techniques for clients and servers.

Using plenty of real-world examples, this book is a complete beginner's guide to socket programming and a springboard to more advanced networking topics, including multimedia protocols.

*Concise, no-nonsense explanations of issues often troublesome for beginners, including message construction and parsing.
*Comprehensive example-based coverage of the most important TCP/IP techniques-including iterative and concurrent servers, timeouts, and asynchronous message processing.
*Includes a detailed, easy-to-use reference to the system calls and auxiliary routines that comprise the sockets interface.
*A companion Web site provides source code for all example programs in both C and WinSock versions, as well as guidance on running the code on various platforms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 16 Feb 2007

By	Jon Bellamy "Jon" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book covers the sockets API in a well written concise fashion. Its easy to get all the examples running under Windows (despite what another reviewer wrote). After reading this book you will have a good grounding in the sockets API and should be able to tackle most networking app's you want to write. Obviously you must know C but what would you expect, the title of the book kind of hints you would need to know how to program in C.

1.0 out of 5 stars No use at all for Windows Environments, 7 Nov 2003

By A Customer

If you are not seasoned in the use of of C then this book is not for you. This book expects more than a beginners level of understanding in C. If you intend to program in a Windows environment then this book is definately not suitable. All programs samples are based in the UNIX environment. The companion website which supposedly has Winsock examples is never reachable. The program examples that are given are extremely poorly explained from a beginners point of view. If you are a student intending to learn how to program in C using Sockets in a Windows environment your money would better spent on beer!

2.0 out of 5 stars I hate this book!, 18 Nov 2007

By	K. H. Smith "C" (Seattle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, was a total waste of time and money. I've tried on various occasions to compile the code written in this book to no avail. It does explain line-by-line what the code does, but is completely pointless after that. Your money would better spent on other titles.
