No, no, no. Bad, book, bad.
This book is woefully incomplete. The real world examples aren't, and as for being a practical guide for programmers it isn't. It is missing critical topics such as what is Nagle's algorithm (i.e. TCP_NODELAY) and when to use it. Helpful resolver functions such as sethostent() and endhostent() are not discussed. It includes none of the lessons learned by the apache server project (i.e. ways to handle thundering herd (accept() wakeups)).

This is a great book to make a programmer incredibly dangerous at network programming, but isn't complete enough to make them understand why if they change the examples quirky things start to happen.

Network socket programming isn't something that can be done with a glass of lemonade and a weekend with this book. Get the Steven's books, and then get Effective TCP/IP Programming which quickly tells you how to polish what you have created to something resembling a predictable "working" network application.

Every computer science book should be so clear
The Pocket Guide to TCP/IP Sockets is a wonderful, hands-on introduction to socket programming. It's small, light, and inexpensive. Perfect!!! I wish that all computer science books were as well-presented and affordable as this one. Definitely a keeper. I know people who refuse even to loan their copy to friends :)

Perfect way to get a grip on sockets!
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.
