The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Windows Sockets Network Programming':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
A number of people who use WinSock may be completely unaware of the fact. For those who do know about WinSock, many would simply see it through the interface of Trumpet's TCPMAN dialer, or another of it's ilk. Few understand the reality of the Windows Sockets API, and even those who do may not comprehend the full range and importance of the standard. It is telling that the book does not start with a set of common calls and sample code, but four full chapters detailing the history and background, network layer concepts, TCP/IP background, and mechanics of WinSock. Quinn and Shute have produced a very useful guide and reference for programmers. It examines the interface from both sides, so that not merely applications developers but network driver writers can benefit. As the authors state, this is not the Windows Sockets API specification, but a series of pointers to, and explanations of, the specification. (Those who are used to sets of common calls and sample code need not worry: there is plenty of that as well.) copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
