TCP/IP Sockets in C Bundle: TCP/IP Sockets in C, Second Edition: Practical Guide for Programmers (Morgan Kaufmann Practical Guides)

Customer Reviews:

This book gets you a jump start.

By C. Brown - January 30, 2010

This book includes enough easy to read explanations of actual working code that you can within a few hours have a client/server socket connection up and working. Both the text and the code are well written and easy to follow. Advanced information about non-blocking I/O allowed me to quickly implement background socket reads without tying up a foreground process. The annoying occurrences of "address already in use" errors is explained clearly, and how to get around them by the use of socket options. I had literally zero problems compiling and executing the examples with the gcc compiler and Ubuntu Linux.
As the title says, it's a book for C programmers about sockets, not for other languages. There is a chapter on C++ use, which I have not needed yet.

Great Starting Place for Socket Programming

By abstractiooooon - October 7, 2011

This is a great book to start learning about sockets, whether you're a C or C++ programmer. Although it applies to Unix, the concept is same for Windows. I program with C++ and never learned C. since the syntax is similar, all a C++ programmer has to do is look up minor details about C syntax like printf and main(argc, argv). This book is very clear and structured nicely. A 13 yr old that has learned c/c++ syntax can easily grasp this book. thumbs up

Great for beginners

By lid6j86 - October 30, 2012

I have not done much in the way of network programming before. Although I've taken classes on networks, and played with aspects of networks to create my own home network, I'm not very familiar with all of the basic terms and concepts.

This guide was great for showing me the ropes. They cover a lot of ground quickly, so you may need to supplement the readings with some internet searching, but that's mostly for background information and getting a deeper understanding of the concept being covered.

It will take you from knowing nothing to writing clients and servers for TCP or UDP.

This one is great for C, and there is an equivalent for C# that uses .Net Framework wrappers. It is very up to date and still relevant. I highly recommend this.
