A good,readable,working guide to TCP/IP Socket
I used this book from cover to cover in a Unix Socket Programming class. A few good points about this book: 1) The sample do compiled on Linux with no problems. That's a plus. 2) The author emphasized good client-server design principles. 3) The introduction is gentle and very readble. 4) The code sample is directly,simple and not riddled with unnecessary details to "show off" like some authors do.You don't need much Unix to do exercise in this book.About the only System calls you need to know are fork(),Select(),sigalarm() and execve(). The book could have been expanded to cover HTTP,SOAP and some other protocols to give it a 5stars.

The only books to learn TCP/IP
Get all three volumes. There is no better way to learn TCP/IP. The read is excellent. The examples are very excellent. Definiirly, a classic for years to come.

Definitely worth considering. Well written.
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.
