Summary:
This is THE guide to UNIX network programming APIs. Whether you write Web servers, client/server applications, or any other network software, you need to understand networking APIS-especially sockets in greater detail than ever before. You need UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Third Edition. In this book, the Authors offer unprecedented, start-to-finish guidance on making the most of sockets, the de facto standard for UNIX network programming with APIs - as well as extensive coverage of the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI).

Very Good Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
I bought this book for work. It left me with a good understanding of Multicast and Raw Sockets, the two subjects I was mostly interested in.

Comprehensive.
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
The Best series of books to learn Network programming from. The BEST in the world. Nothing comes close.

This is the one I have been looking for.
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
If you are reading this review you probably are looking for a comprehensive text on socket programming. Look no further. This is the One. You can stop reading reviews trying to find the perfect one and go hit the Add To Shopping Cart button with confidence. Detailed, comprehensive and clear. A favorite.

Competent Update to the Stevens Classic
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This book consists of "in the trenches" information Mr. Stevens learned over the years by reading source, testing thoroughly, documenting extensively, and assembling carefully all this data into one heck of a book on Unix programming. I feel certain in declaring that many who've developed code on Unix know instantly of Stevens' works. This update to his book appears just as thorough.

I do agree with a previous reviewer who was unhappy with the code samples' dependency on a header file in the back of the book. It's a clumsy technique, but it's difficult to imagine another way to accomplish the goals of including the header.

A piece of art
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This book is excellent. I had previously bought "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by the same author and I loved it so now that I have to do network programming in Linux I got a copy of UNP. The book is well organized and has a lot more information than I expected (Raw sockets, Packet capture, IPv6 etc). Everything is explained clearly and with a lot of examples. It's a shame that the author passed away because I would buy any other book he wrote. Buy this book, it's expensive but It's so professional that is a "must have" for anyone that's going to be programming network applications in UNIX systems.

Thank you, Richard Stevens. Rest in Peace.
