Windows Network Programming

Question

I am planning to get some good book for Windows Socket Programming in VC++. I have 2+ years of experience in working with VC++/ATL/COM/MFC; but not in the networking domain.

I have been doing some search in Google for "Windows network programming" books. There are few but they have both good and bad comments scattered all over; and I am not able to decide anything.

Please recommend some good book with Pros and Cons. The books I found are below.

1. Windows Sockets Network programming
2. Network Programming for Microsoft Windows

Thanks.

Answer 1

I would recommend the second one as it not only covers basic sockets and TCP stuff but also network pipes, QoS, LSP and much more
