to author: hey guys, nice work. i’m waiting for the second edition for all it’s worth. maybe for the next one, you could rip out this binding, pick a nice one, and select a better paper quality book
as for the content. It’s _VERY_ good. i just wish that the vb and netbios content was ripped out. i really like how you included the c examples. this is a much better approach then most of the network books i have seen. also sticking with console applications was a good way to approach as well. for your next one 
if there is to be one, it would be really cool if you could follow the same design style as K&R.
as for regular readers:. just buy the damn book, it will pay it self off very soon and it’s a good read.
peace, akbar A.

I’m a VB programmer desperately seeking information on the NETAPI functions. There is nothing on the web, Dan Appleman has nothing to say about the the NetAPI and there’s definitely nothing in this book on it. The VB world needs someone, like Appleman to go through and document this scarcely documented topic.

This is the only book, I can find for windows network programming. Unfortunately, stuff here is not well explained & if you are not a expert, do not expect to learn network programming from this book. Atleast not without a great deal of pain.

This book does not cover using sockets in VC as I hoped it would.
