Need this urgetly ! Please help

Please I know What I am gonna ask you looks pretty silly but i am in vain and i have never asked for such a thing !Friends I am looking for a ebook called

TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers
http://www.amazon.com/TCP-IP-Sockets.../dp/1558608265


I have tried google.Not to mention all the underground ebooks site,rapidshare,torrents,usenet but to no avail.It is such a good book and I wonder that its not available in chm or pdf format.I don't mind buying the ebook(but not book,I live in a desert :( ) but even that option is available nowhere.Please don't give me this link

http://cs.baylor.edu/~donahoo/practi.../textcode.html

I know its there but what i want is complete book.Its only code samples.Please help if anybody have that ebook.I have already spend ages finding for this bookand this is the only book i am not able to find (yes even on chmpdf.com ).This is the the only ebook for which I am posting such a crap post.

I would think that - even if you live in the middle of the desert - if you have Internet, you propably have a mailbox, too... If you have a mailbox, I'm sure Amazon can deliver...

Thanks for ur reply sir !
Amazon can deliver ? Are u talking about ebook?I want ebook that would cost me less :(

Are you sure you searched google? This is what I found: http://books.google.com/books?vid=IS..._pWJJhbRR03ab0


Also, I'm sure most P2P networks will have what your looking for. Just becareful of your local copyright laws.

Greeting's

Looking at your Name, it seems you are from India and when you mentioned desert.. Maybe Rajesthan.. You can get the book you are looking for from www.firstandsecond.com.. The site is maintained by Relience... You can either get the India Edition (if there is one) or the international one.

Just one word of caution if you are going to use the site.. Try not to pay online using the credit card. You can walk into any Relience WebWorld and pay by cash..

Here are a few good links that I found helpful. I am actually working on this myself over the last few weeks and it is tough sometimes finding clear information.

The best site I found for Windows Sockets is actually MSDN, they give you a walkthrough of an application to help you out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...th_winsock.asp

The above link is mainly for Windows, Unix is similar in concept but uses some slightly different structures. Of course this is all in C++.

I also found this link helpful:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems...ingtcp_cpp.asp

This one has a Unix and Windows Example:
http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/s...=1831&lngWId=3

Now, for the fun part. Although all of these links and tutorials will give you a good overview and give you a actual working program, the commenting on them are so-so at best. I actually took the www.codeproject.com tutorial listed above , and used the MSDN site to reference each and every class and function. I have revised and commented my version with tons of notes to make it more understandable.

I an now working on making the authors version even better, using more of the funtionallity, i am learning alot from doing it this way.

Hope this helps.

*PS: I have spent tons of money on books, and really do enjoy them, after finding that the "good stuff" is always a google away I now spend my time on that. You can usually find what your looking for pretty quick.
