C++ network programming

To understand sockets and use them right, you need The Sockets Bible:

W. Richard Stevens, Unix Network Programming, Volume 1: The Sockets Networking API (3rd Edition)

You absolutely must have this book before you sit down to write a line of sockets code. Don’t leave home without it. Really. Starting around $35 used at Amazon.

EDIT: The OP asked about other volumes. Here are two others:

  W. Richard Stevens, UNIX Network Programming, Volume 2: Interprocess Communications (2nd Edition)
  W. Richard Stevens, TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. 1: The Protocols

They are of Stevens’s usual and expected superb quality. I don’t know what his plans were for integrating all these books,
