Book Description

Publication Date: September 9, 1996

WindowsA (R) 95 and Windows NTaA A coexist in many networked environments, and the two operating systems share a common networking API. However, there are some important differences in their capabilities and implementation. Win32A (R) Network Programming shows programmers how to build networked applications that leverage 32-bit features and functionality, covering both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. From an industry veteran and a leading authority on network programming, the comprehensive coverage of Windows networking in this book includes: *strategies for building successful applications *discussion of overlapped I/O, I/O completion ports, Windows Sockets (including Winsock 2), the Service Registration API, the Win32 Security API, RPC, and Named Pipes *how to apply the Microsoft Foundation Classes and object-oriented programming principles to Win32 network programming and use them to hide the differences between Windows NT and Windows 95 Included on the disk are code examples from the book: a C++/MFC class library that extends MFC to support overlapped I/O, I/O completion ports, Windows Sockets 2, the Windows Sockets Service Registration API, and related functionality.0 201489309B04062001

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book, covers a lot of areas and is written well, November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: WIN32 Network Programming: Windows(r) 95 and Windows NT Network Programming Using MFC (Paperback)

Though the book is already pretty old for the fast developing area it is still veru usefull. It covers areas like RPC that are even usefull for UNIX programmers and it describes Multithreading and the TCP/IP Socket API quiet well. It is one of the books for real programmers who do want to understand what is going on and keep control over their programs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Covers much essential Win32 programming, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: WIN32 Network Programming: Windows(r) 95 and Windows NT Network Programming Using MFC (Paperback)

Good book and easy to follow. Covers a wealth of information. I found this book much easier to follow than some of the other books on the market with similar topics. Source code included (on floppy) contained many errors, however.

2.0 out of 5 stars Old Info - Not useful, February 14, 2000

This review is from: WIN32 Network Programming: Windows(r) 95 and Windows NT Network Programming Using MFC (Paperback)

Forget this book if you want good working examples. In nearly every chapter the author displays MFC class code but no examples for use of the technologies he is talking about. Also, if you are trying to learn how to write a multi-threaded TCP based server, you can foreget this book. Like others have stated, this book is old. Published in 1996 it refers Windows 95 and NT 4.0 as new technologies.
