This book assists users in writing programs that access the Internet from Windows; creating their own ftp, finger, ping, mail programs and more; understanding the Winsock API; mastering TCP/IP... This description may be from another edition of this product.
As a novice programmer, I'm always in search of authors who remember how difficult new material is to digest and incorporate. This book is extremely repetitious and that is a good thing for those who have yet to commit every concept and protocol to memory. I've understood more about the tcp/ip suite of protocols and Winsock API in this book in one read than in two years of study.
Solid introduction to programming tcp/ip based applications

OK, so the author isn't going to win any style awards. The book is still a good starting point for anyone wanting to understand and write programs based on tcp/ip. Useful and instructive applications include a simple ftp program and a browser.
Covers all Internet topics clearly/ great source code.

A well thought out book that teaches Internet programming to begginners. The author uses a one two punch to state topics in several ways so beginners have more than one chance to catch on and learn the topic. Some people may find this repetitive, but begginning programmings will be grateful Jamsa took this approach. The bare bones source code is a third punch. The source code shows how to program exactly what the chapter covered. A must for begginners
This is a good book for a novice network programmer.

This is the tie-breaker. This book is good. I bought the book despite the bad review I read on this page and I will concede that the book is repetitive. But, the repetition arises from a desire to clarify terms and meanings. A noble goal. Overall the book is well written, it is easy to understand, written in active voice and there are no typos or careless mistakes. A rare find these days. Moreover, the book was well thought out, the basics of network programming are given in detail and a good foundation is given for internet programming. I wish there had been more on HTTP.
this is the book to read about winsock programming

For internet programming is this book by Jamsa and Cope the best to read. I've searched a lot for a quality book, and this is the one and onely. The strength is that Jamsa and Cope succeeded in explaining difficult material in a straight and simple way. Give me more.
