SAMS Linux Socket Programming by Example

There have been many books written on the topic of computer networking. While many of these areexcellent resources for advanced programmers, they tend to be too deep for the beginner who justwants to know how to use it. Why require a potential driver to understand the theory behind hisautomobile?This book teaches the reader how to use socket programming, as if networking was an appliance thatyou can turn on and use. Consequently, a “by example” approach to socket programming is u sed here.Each chapter builds upon the previous, until all of the basic concepts are mastered in Part 1, “BasicSocket Concepts.” Part 2, “Advanced Socket Programming,” contains some more advanced topicsthat might present a challenge for some readers. The last chapter presents a practical application tyingtogether many of the concepts you’ve learned.
