I can’t say I agree with this. Stevens’ books have always been a go to for me for ever. They don’t have great coverage on more recent topics like Anycast and Multicast, so probably outdated at this point, but I can’t think of a single author who taught me more about network and unix/posix programming. All of the concepts transferred well into Java and Rust after it for me. I’m eternally grateful for Stevens’ work.
