Summary: Great book for both beginner and advanced
Comment: I'm a computer science student as well as professional developer. I bought this book for a school project and immediately read almost the entire thing. The way that Mr. Blum describes and takes you through networking from simple to advanced is very helpful and explanatory. He describes the way networking was originally done in the socket paradigm on Unix and translates that into the object oriented world of C#. He explains how you can make the best use of the C# helper classes to make network programming much less painful. Thanks for a great book.

Summary: Good, but...
Comment: Overall this is a very good book. It has many examples with the entire source code to run different client and server programs. Although, I understand this might be a book for beginners, I was hoping to find out how to code a server for a very high volume of client connections. The book explains how to use the ThreadPool, but that is only good for up to 25 clients per CPU. The book also shows an example creating a thread for each client connection, but if there are hundreds of connections that will require the creation of hundreds of threads. So, the book does not really give any answers to the issue with large number of connections.
Still, I enjoyed reading this book very much, but I feel that I might need to get a more advanced book.

Summary: Very good book - deserves way more credit that it's getting
Comment: I really found this book to be highly informative. I credit this one for helping me learn most of what I know about C# socket level programming. Topics covered various non-blocking methods including asynchronous processing via delegates, using threads both manually and with threadpools. He even included sections on how to handle incoming connections by polling. I also liked his "when TCP goes bad" chpater which discusses how to use .NET to circumvent errors and inconsistencies in transmission.
Yes, this book does tackle tricky programming issues - but that's the nature of socket programming. If you want to get the most out of this book, read it several times and start writing your own programs using the techniques described. I spent quite a bit of time with this book writing a light-weight custom HTTP server using what I learned from this book.
