5.0 out of 5 stars The VB examples really saved me time

Having no prior Winsock programming experience, I took thebook's TCP Client/Server example in the VB Winsock Control chapter,and in one day had a working application that is the basis for the project I'm currently developing. This literally saved me a full week of time, which is worth far more than the money I spent to buy the book. Here's my thanks to the authors!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Winsock Programming Book for Windows
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2002
Hi.
I bought this book about four months ago. I wanted to learn winsock and develop simple network programs for Windows.
This book offers everything I need to develop small scale programs such as an FTP client and large scale programs such as an FTP server. Anthony Jones and Jim Ohmund do a great job explaining useful winsock tools in detail via concrete examples. Furthermore, they demonstrate powerful non-blocking I/O models including WSAAsyncSelect, WSAEventSelect, Overlapped Model, and Completion Port Model. To top it off, there is a section where they give a recommendation as to which model is best depending on the project.
Network Programming for Microsoft Windows Second Edition is an excellent reference for winsock IPv4 and IPv6 programming in Microsoft Windows. This book definitely provides network programmers lots of tools. In fact, there are chapters that go way beyond the basics for the typical and simple network programs. For example, the authors go over registration, name resolution, multicasting, generic quality of service, winsock service provider interface, and remote access service. Lastly, there are two chapters reserved for C# and VB programmers.
I highly recommend this book for advanced C++ programmers and winsock programmers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Two Stars. Not a Fraction More.

The best I can say is that this book looks like it has a lot of information.
But what good is it if you have to wade through words "up to here" just to get at it? Do they pay these guys by the word?
It's just not an efficient book.
If I couldn't teach any better than this I'd get another job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Winsock/network programming book out there
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 1999
As a professional networking software tester I have read atleast parts of most of the network programming books out there, andthis is the best of them so far. As previously mentioned the authors concentrate primarily on Winsock and mostly on C/C++ (as any serious network programmer should in both cases). Since this book does cover so many subjects though, some of the more peripheral subjects are mentioned relatively briefly, but hey, that's what SDK's are for. Concentrating on the main subject the authors do a great job of explaining Winsock and its application. I was particularly impressed by the comprehensive way in which they covered the differences between protocols, and between operating systems. It was also impressive (especially for an MSPress book) that they point out all the idiosyncracies and occasional bugs in the different implementations of Winsock. Obviously this book is intended for at least an intermediately skilled programmer, but should work well as a reference and an introduction to new topics (such as QOS, multicasting, and LSP's) to even more experienced coders.
To allay the conspiracy fears of those Linux people out there, I am not affiliated in any way with Microsoft Corporation or MSPress.

5.0 out of 5 stars concise and pretty helpful
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2003
The book has been written in an easy style. The first few chapters in particular have been written in a simple and easy to understand manner. Not the kinds that drives away beginners.
The book makes a good attempt at being complete, it covers a good deal of IPV6 along with IPV4. Most examples are easy to follow and good to go - I copy pasted a lot of samples and they just worked.
Though it covers the basics of many protocols, given the impact that HTTP has on the internet, I think the book can dedicate a few more pages detailing HTTP mechanisms and Winsock based HTTP apps... Otherwise, this book is really good to have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad source code
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2004
You would think the authors know what they are talking about when they write a book. But the source code provided does not run if you don't meet very strict requirements. The authors work for Microsoft. And they are tester/devloper. But neither they nor microsoft press bother to run their codes. My question is, if their codes are not good. How can you trust the book contents.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad, but there is better out there
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2005
As with most technical books, the code doesn't work right off of the pages. And since it's now 2005, 3 years after the printing of this book, another edition is needed. Network programming is a very large subject to cover. If you know nothing of network programming, then this book is an okay starting point. Be prepared for some fairly complex topics right from the begining. The book covers network programming using C++, C#, and VB. Also, check the web page located in the front pages of the book to fix code errors throughout the book. In all honesty, I would recommend against buying this book and instead purchasing a more thourough network book, such as Windows Sockets Network Programming.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great material, overall good presentation
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2002
These days any developer is capable of throwing together a network server application, but developing a truly efficient and scalable server is akin to black magic for most. This update covers the material well, and gives the reader excellent advice on how to build better networking software with an understanding of what is going on behind the scenes.
My one nit would be that the examples don't compile out of the box with VC 6.0 on either NT or Win2k, even with fairly recent platform SDK headers. After a bit of error tracing and reading the book, I found that most were written using new name resolution functions found in XP, and while they will work with older platforms, it required downloading the latest platform SDK... Since you can't download just the headers, you're going to need either a fast connection or a lot of time.
It would have been nice to have this documented in the book, the code or at least in a 'readme.txt' file. Since the SDK is available for free, why not stick it on the CD since you can't work with the books material without it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein sehr gutes Buch.
Reviewed in Germany on July 31, 2018
Verified Purchase
Sehr gutes Buch. Aber man muss es wirklich lesen, zumindest die ersten 70 Seiten, dann kann man querlesen oder überspringen. Es ermöglicht einen kompletten Neueinstieg in das Thema Winsock . Der Schwerpunkt liegt dann auf den Protokollen UDP und TCP, wobei Andere auch behandelt werden.

Ich habe mir sehr viel in dem Buch angestrichen, Notizen und Querverweise gemacht. Zum Beispiel werden in den erwähnten 70 Seiten die grundlegenden Funktionen zu Adresskonvertierung, Socket öffnen, bind, listen, Senden und Empfangen, etc. erklärt und dazu Beispielprogramme gezeigt. Viele Seiten später gibt es Kapitel, die neuere Funktionen zur Adresskonvertierung vorstellen. Dann gibt es ein Kapitel was bessere Funktionen vorstellt, die eine transparente Verwendung von IPV4 und IPV6 ermöglichen. Ich habe somit den anfangs erwähnten Beispielprogrammen Kommentare und Querverweise hinzugefügt.

Jetzt könnte man denken, dass das ein Fehler oder eine Unzulängkeit vom Buch darstellt, aber das sehe ich nicht so. Ich habe durch diesen Aufbau einen schnellen Einstieg gehabt und habe mich danach richtig eingearbeitet.

Hinweis: Das Buch ist auf englisch und soweit ich weiß nicht in deutscher Sprache zu bekommen.
