I'm not interested in debating this; this is my opinion. I use this book every day. You cannot go wrong by buying this book. > What are his other books like? TCP/IP Illustrated Vol1 is a good book too -- very well written, and augments his UNP vol1 2ed book very well. If you are interested in kernel issues, TCP/IP Illustrated Vol2 is very good. It's very oriented towards BSD though. TCP/IP Illustrated Vol3 is very good if you're interested in the subjects it covers... UNP vol2 2ed is very good if you're interested in interprocess communications. > Any recommendations on good books to > get? (I haven't bought any good books lately, and am itching to go to > SoftPro since I now work less than 5 minutes away :) _Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World_, Haruki Murakami.
