Effective TCP/IP Programming: 44 Tips to Improve Your Network Programs

In 44 expert mini-lessons, Effective TCP/IP Programming demystifies TCP/IP development, eliminating the guesswork, helping programmers past the obstacles, and showing how to dramatically improve application performance and robustness. TCP/IP programming can seem seductively simple: the API is straightforward and even novices can flesh out a working application. But there are plenty of hidden obstacles -- and developers who don't understand them will encounter serious performance problems. Effective TCP/IP Programming demystifies the critical details and hidden behaviors of TCP/IP, so programmers can build code that's more reliable, maintainable, and efficient. Following the widely-admired style of Scott Meyers' Effective C++, Jon C. Snader has organized this book into 44 short, self-contained sections, each addressing one key aspect of TCP/IP development, or one key trouble spot -- and each including detailed, fully commented code examples. The result: a book that's easy to read and absorb, and will serve as an outstanding day-to-day reference tool for every developer who wants to create TCP/IP-based network applications. A perfect complement to other books on TCP/IP, such as TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 by W. Richard Stevens! more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-16-2006; excellent for developing network programs; I bought this about 4 years ago. It was extremely helpful for the socket programs that I have had to develop. I don't do TCP/IP socket programming full time, but this helped me to develop several robust applications. I used it to...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-21-2006; entry-level textbook disguised as "tips"; I don't know why this book is rated so highly. There's nothing wrong with the content (what little there is), but I feel that it's misrepresented as a book for intermediate level network programmers. I was expecting discussion on when...; read full review | report as inappropriate
