I'll never not recommend this book. Fantastic and free, but you can get an official paperback book these days too. It's well written if you want to learn basic networking with the BSD sockets API. It's also the funniest software book I've ever read. A lot of programming book authors have some charm to their writing, but Beej is on another level.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoI came into the thread to comment I'll never not smile when I see beej's guide pop up. back in the late 90's/early aughts it was absolutely the best way to learn network programming using BSD sockets. It originally picked it up to better understand circlemud code in college, it will always hold a special place in my heart.
- robotguy 3y agoI bought a paperback of this many, many years ago and used it to write a MUD in C. Good times... I think maybe I should get a copy of the new version because I don't understand IPV6 at all.
