The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Adventures in Unix Network Applications Programming (Wiley Professional Computing)':
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.
