Summary: No advance examples / codes
Review: There's a serious problem in chapter 07 where the author illustrates how you would transfer binary data over the network.Any primitive data longer than 1 byte should be converted to network byte order before sending to the network. This fact is also mentioned by the author but nowhere in all the example codes explicitly do this conversion. Thus all the example codes are incorrect. This is very important because 99.9% of people developing software in C# will be running a little endian machine. I wonder if the author ever try to use his software to communicate with other software running in big-endian computers. Also, most of the examples are too simple for the experienced developers. I'd expect more from this book.

Summary: Good book for learning TCP/IP programming
Review: This is a good book for learning network programming especially from Microsoft .NET viewpoint. The book has extensive coverage of Sockets which is the standard API for programming with TCP/IP. I am teaching a new course on Internet Protocols and Client-Server Programming and I am thinking of adopting the book as a reference for the programming labs we do in the course. I have few minor shortcomings on the book which I will pass to the author directly but overall the book is very good.

Review: This is not an excellent book like most others said.
Read "amit kalani" books to compare how a good book should be written. I regretted buying this book. Hard to read and understand, insufficient examples, superflous explanation etc.
