Good book for "TCP/IP". The Best for "Embedded TCP/IP", October 7, 2008
This review is from: The Embedded Internet: TCP/IP Basics, Implementation and Applications (Paperback)
Just looking for a TCP/IP course? This book will certainly help you.
Are you involved with Embedded Systems and need to learn TCP/IP? Then, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!
The book presents three parts: First part (theory) provides a comprehensive course about TCP/IP. Concepts are very clear and graphics are simply impressive. Very easy to read and learn.
The second part has 12 Labs, where a COMPLETE TCP/IP Stack is developed and explained. From the drivers (ethernet and serial interface) to the application protocols (webserver, email client) are created from scratch, step by step. All the needed software is provided (compiler and source code). This is, perhaps, the best way to really understand TCP/IP. After finishing the Labs, now I can say that I really understand the subject (this didn't happen when I red TCP/IP conventional -and bored - text books). The third part presents applications where embedded internet is used. First time I see a book detailing "real applications". The concept for Embedded Web Services is introduced and an aditional Lab shows how to use Web Services from an embedded systems.
All the source code works without problems and the Labs behave exactly as the book states.
This book should be used in those courses which pretend to cover TCP/IP in a professional manner.
