Author Description
A growing number of the 90,000 network programmers who bought Rich Stevens' UNIX Network Programming need to address a topic not covered by this classic--how to deal with Windows Sockets, also known as WinSock. This book is the defintive word on WinSock, offering a complete tutorial on how to work with Windows Sockets and sample code, which will be available on the Internet.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the technical implementation and architectural requirements of the Windows Sockets (WinSock) API for network programming. Authors Bob Quinn and Dave Shute provide a comprehensive framework for developers transitioning from UNIX-based networking to the Windows environment. The text bridges the gap between general network theory and the specific constraints of the Windows operating system, utilizing practical code examples to illustrate complex socket operations.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Detailed technical tutorials on the WinSock API architecture
- Implementation strategies for cross-platform network communication
- Extensive sample code for socket configuration and data transmission
- Analysis of Windows-specific networking constraints and performance optimization
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts and developers frequently cite this work as a foundational resource for understanding the nuances of the Windows Sockets interface. Readers often note the technical density of the prose, which serves as a primary reference for those migrating legacy network applications to Windows environments.
