Title: Good Basics, But No Coverage of Threads AT ALL
Product review: The coverage of WinSock basics in this book is quite good, but the book has an Achilles heel - it's sorely out of date, concentrates on the 16 bit model way too much, and has NO THREADED EXAMPLES AT ALL (async winsock work is covered entirely with message-based calls, on the grounds that this approach is portable to Win16 - like I care about that anymore).If you're interested in threaded Winsock work, then wait for a new edition or look elsewhere. If you're still writing for 16 bit Windows then (a) this book is fine for you, and (b) you have my condolences.
