Networking is one of the core tasks of enterprise-level programming, and this book covers key concepts, like network programming in .NET with C#, and building network-based applications in .NET. You will gain confidence to use the classes shipped with .NET, and eventually implement your own application-level protocols.
The text first overviews important background material, like physical network architecture, network protocols, the OSI model, streams in .NET, and stream access. Also covered in detail: socket programming—complete with introduction, and descriptions for use in .NET.
Finally, the book explores Internet programming, with a look at HTTP—the underlying protocol of e-mail and Internet. By the end of the book, you will also have learned to secure network communications in .NET.
Hmm... I would have liked to see some other chapter than chapter 1, which is pretty much a boilerplate chapter 1 of any networking book. There were a couple comments on .NET-related things at the end, but it would be nice to see a chapter that is more representative of the .NET focus of the book.
