Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is very well written. I suspect it was written with college students in mind. As a professional, I went through it like a hot knife through butter. I really liked his showing a number of ways to solve a problem, with a discussion of the tradeoffs (e.g., iterative vs. concurrent servers). The programming is in ANSI C. I enjoyed seeing a makefile and some Bourne shell scripts in this book. So many authors act like this stuff doesn't even exist. You might want to get the UNIX Network Programming, Vol.1, book by W. Richard Stevens also. The Stevens book serves better as a reference and has more detail. E.g., Stevens talks about tcpdump, but Comer doesn't. Yet Comer's book is very easy to read and gives you a clear picture without drowning you in details.
