Summary: Superb book
Comment: I can say without exaggerating that this is one of the best (if not the best) programming books I have ever read for four reasons: 1) Explanations are clear and very easy to understand 2) There is plenty of code and at the same time there isn't too much code. Some programming books have unnecessarily long code examples that only slow down the reader. 3) All code examples are explained line by line. 4) There is a handy reference section at the end of the book for all the functions that were discussed.
My only complaint is that it is a bit short - 108 pages if you don't count the api reference section and index. However, it is also very cheap. Don't be fooled by the small size though, you will learn a lot about sockets and even a little about signals, processes and pthreads. I think it is safe to say (or write) that this book is written primarily for Unix/Linux users.

Summary: Perfect way to get a grip on sockets!
Comment: This book is awesome. I've been writing tcp/ip sockets code for years and I've used all the standard reference books (Esp. the Stevens books) and they're great. Let me tell you, though, that I wish I had this book when I got started with TCP/IP programming. It's clear, it goes into sufficient detail to get you to understand what's going on, but not so much that you get lost.
I read in two pages of this book something that none of the other books showed, the 'pre-forking' server model which things like Apache use. None of my other books explain how this works, this does, clearly and concisely. Even though I own all the standards (TCP/IP Illustrated volumes 1, 2 and 3, and both editions of Unix Network Programming by Stevens) when I got a chance to thumb through this book (and it's sister book "TCP/IP sockets in java") I knew immediately I would be buying them.
Excellent. Just Excellent.

Summary: Excellent Basic TCP/IP Programming book
Comment: This book was recommended to me for one of my courses and I was very skeptical seeing the size. But after reading the book, I was extremely impressed.
If you are just into network programming, then this book teaches most of the basics needed to advance more deeply. The explanations are very good and all the code written in the book work :) If you are already familiar with the basics of TCP / IP, then you can finish this book in about a day or two.
I highly recommend this book for every network programming beginner. Please Note: This book is not a guide to C programming and you should be familiar with basic C data structures and pointers for understanding some of the code logic.
