buy it even if you own Stevens' book
This book has a perfect balance of brevity and depth. Anything shorter would have been superficial, anything deeper would begin to compete with Stevens' Unix Network Programming (and lose). As is, this book fits very well for developers who do occasional TCP/IP development, but still need to develop reliable, industrial-grade software.

only way for me to learn C/C++ sockets
I couldn't find any good examples or documentation on the web that made sockets easy enough for me to implement in C/C++. But Snader's book explained it thoroughly and moreover simply enough for me to understand and emulate, and lo and behold, I had my first socket program running on windows and *nix in about a week. It also does a great job of introducing protocols and TCP/IP/UDP specifically. I have only read the first half but I am sure the second half is just as good. That is all I needed, since I just needed an understanding of sockets to get going. I highly recommend this book to intermediate programmers who want to get into network programming and networking in general.

Useful book
The only issue is source code style.
I appreciate the pure clear C code or C++ wrappers.
The book contains non user friendly C code:(

The tips are great. I wish all books to be such helpful.
