TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers (The Practical Guides)
"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
