2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for, March 14, 2006
I purchased this book because I wanted to do socket programming. However only 30 pages is devoted to the topic. Threads are not covered as all and I found more information on the web then I found in this book.

The fact that you can not download the source code is another blow against the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wide Coverage WITHOUT Source Code, September 23, 2004
By Michael W. Schellenberger (georgetown, in United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Overall, covers many areas, lacks detailed socket theory, wastes space and no source code.

The book covers a lot of stuff that I hadn't anticipated, which I thought was great. The book goes from Streaming, sockets, numerous internet related protocols, multicasting, telephony and MSMQ.

The book really lacks detailed explanation on Sockets however there are plenty of code examples to learn from. The samples could use more detailed explanation. They are concise and the few I took the time to type in worked fine.

There is no mention of source code being available. I contacted the publisher, Elsevier - Digital Press, and after a 3 day delay said 'the source code is on the inside cover'. No sure what that means I guess I will have to wait another 3 days to find out.

One other dislike was the fact that every code snippet is duplicated in each language. The book is intended for non beginners so there should be no need to waste so much space. The second language should be available in a download.

I gave the 4 only because of the wide coverage and great theory in these other areas. The book will get you writing apps that can talk to each other over IP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely well done, October 14, 2005
By kc "kc31824" (stamford, ct USA) - See all my reviews
This book took me from 0 to 50 on network programming in 1 long day.

It is written for someone familiar with .net and wanting to do network programming in .net -- either C# or VB.net.

The coverage is very broad -- starting from sockets, to email, to http/web, to encryption, network utilities, etc. Each section is short and sweet, but still specific enough with an example that you feel you can jump in and start coding this.

Also, the author is clearly a practioner himself -- this wasn't just reciting the msdn library, this was the tips and tricks on what parts really matter of each aspect of networking, with real life situations.

This was one of the top few, if not the best, computer software books I've read, in terms of taking me from virtually no knowledge of a subject (outside of a network theory class a long time ago) to feeling confident that I can use the material in a commercial application.

Two drawbacks:
- Would have been nice to be able to download the sample code form somewhere as full apps. Retyping it is a bit of a pain.

- I'm using the VS 2005 beta and a couple of the namespaces like system.web.mail have been obsoleted.

However, if you're trying to learn about networking and using a .net enviornment, this is a good investment of time.
