Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
"Adventures"? Well, I suppose that bringing down a network through faulty programming is adventurous enough in anyone's book. This work is intended to introduce experienced C-language programmers to networks in a UNIX environment, and, particularly, the TCP/IP system. A book directed at experienced programmers can be expected to have some fairly demanding text. Indeed, in addition to code samples which go on for pages, the content is so dense with function and variable names as to sometimes seem like code, itself. However, a close reading shows that the authors have been careful to thoroughly explain all important concepts as they are introduced. They even go so far as to throw in a bit of humour. Topics covered include basic concepts, protocols and network hardware; UNIX sockets; Internet, UDP and TCP sockets; streams; transport level interface; interfacing with Internet daemons; and, X.25 sockets. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
