Winsock 2.0

Windows Sockets or "WinSock" as it has become known, is an open standard that allows programmers to connect their Windows applications to the Internet and Intranets, as well as to Netware and other legacy networks. Written with the hard-core corporate developer in mind, this text describes the WinSock API for versions 1.1 and 2.0 and develops several sample applications. The focus of the text is on WinSock programming issues and developing reusable, extensible WinSock components in C++. The attached CD-ROM includes all source code from the book, as well as the WinSock 2.0 specification.
