Definitely a great and very instructive read, and one of the few to include IPv6 and the correct usage of getaddrinfo.
It's the guide I recommend to everyone who wants to learn about network programming in C. I actually purchased the (slightly expensive) printed version and never regretted it :)

- moron4hire 11y agoWhy is $20 "slightly expensive" for this book? Or was it not $20 when you bought it?
- _cbdev 11y agoAdding Shipping Costs to Germany bumps the price to about 22 USD (currently, 21EUR is what the receipt says). Considering the number of pages in this book in relation to its price, it is slightly expensive compared to your average "normal" book. When comparing to other education text books though I'd not be able to complain. Neither am I, as I still think it was worth it, if just to support the author and to have an addition to the bookshelf.
