Agreed.
mustapha··on Beej's Guide to Network Programming (2012)
I think there are better (more correctly written) guides to network programming, i.e., UNIX Network Programming (old, but the newest volume: The Sockets Networking API - was written in 2003), and TCP/IP Illustrated (also most recently updated with a 2nd edition in 2011) by the late, great W. Richard Stevens - despite his sole work being horribly out of date, with later volumes being worked on by Bill Fenner and Andy Rudoff, I would honestly look no further in lieu of socket programming in C.

mustapha··on After 180 Websites, I’m Ready to Start the Rest of My Life as a Coder
I wish I could create awesome things via copy and paste. They almost always seem to come out awfully wrong.

I think I'm more mentally wired to learn things incrementally, than to act as a a prism as Jennifer has done, so gloriously in 180 days.

Thank you for sharing this, I think HN has needed something like this.
