"WinSock is a network API for Microsoft Windows". This means that it is the interface over which all the Internet traffic passes between the user's computer and the World Wide Web and much else besides. Lewis Napper clearly understand both sides of the interface in real world terms and not just the technical specification jargon in which it has to be laid down. Those of us who still call ourselves students might not learn much from this book but after reading this book they will understand a great deal of what they only knew before. The clarity and completeness of the writing reveals a rare ability in a technician. The sample programs are printed and on the bound-in CD-ROM if you need them while the explanations of what it all means ensures that these resources can be exploited to the full.
