Opis

TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers, Second Edition is a quick and affordable way to gain the knowledge and skills needed to develop sophisticated and powerful web-based applications. The book's focused, tutorial-based approach enables the reader to master the tasks and techniques essential to virtually all client-server projects using sockets in C. This edition has been expanded to include new advancements such as support for IPv6 as well as detailed defensive programming strategies. If you program using Java, be sure to check out this book's companion, TCP/IP Sockets in Java: Practical Guide for Programmers, 2^nd Edition.

• Includes completely new and expanded sections that address the IPv6 network environment, defensive programming, and the select() system call, thereby allowing the reader to program in accordance with the most current standards for internetworking.
• Streamlined and concise tutelage in conjunction with line-by-line code commentary allows readers to quickly program web-based applications without having to wade through unrelated and discursive networking tenets.

Recenzje

"Despite my having developed systems software with Sockets and C for 20+ years, I find myself still needing a book like this one. It covers all the subtleties and gotchas that one encounters when writing distributed applications in C with Sockets."--- Bobby Krupczak, The Krupczak Organization
