Network applications must handle events intelligently and efficiently, establishing priorities, resolving conflicts, and managing resources to avoid blocks, dropouts, and the other jams that occur in high-traffic environments. Netty is a Java-based networking framework designed to handle asynchronous network events smoothly so your applications are easy to write and maintain. The framework hides all the boilerplate and low-level code from you, making it possible to keep your business-logic separate and reusable, even in different network transports and protocols. Netty has built-in support for many protocols i.e. HTTP, SPDY, and WebSockets.
Netty in Action introduces the Netty framework and shows you how to incorporate it into your Java network applications. You'll learn to write highly-scalable applications without the need to dive into the low-level non-blocking APIs at the core of Java. You'll learn how to think in an asynchronous way as you work through numerous hands-on examples. You'll follow numerous examples that show you how to use Netty while you master the best practices of large-scale network apps.

From Charles M. Kozierok, the creator of the highly regarded www.pcguide.com, comes The TCP/IP Guide. This completely up-to-date, encyclopedic reference on the TCP/IP protocol suite will appeal to newcomers and the seasoned professional alike. Kozierok details the core protocols that make TCP/IP internetworks function and the most important classic TCP/IP applications, integrating IPv6 coverage throughout. Over 350 illustrations and hundreds of tables help to explain the finer points of this complex topic. The book抯 personal, user-friendly writing style lets readers of all levels understand the dozens of protocols and technologies that run the Internet, with full coverage of PPP, ARP, IP, IPv6, IP NAT, IPSec, Mobile IP, ICMP, RIP, BGP, TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, SNMP, FTP, SMTP, NNTP, HTTP, Telnet, and much more.
The TCP/IP Guide is a must-have addition to the libraries of internetworking students, educators, networking professionals, and those working toward certification.

第一部分主要介绍网络编程基础知识。此部分主要论述Windows和Linux平台网络编程必备基础知识，未过多涉及不同操作系统特性。
第二部分和第三部分与操作系统有关。第二部分主要是Linux相关内容，而第三部分主要是Windows相关内容。从事Windows编程的朋友浏览第二部分内容后，同样可以提高技艺。
第四部分对全书内容进行总结，包含了作者在自身经验基础上总结的学习建议，还介绍了网络编程经典书籍。

Dive into ØMQ (aka ZeroMQ), the smart socket library that gives you fast, easy, message-based concurrency for your applications. With this quick-paced guide, you’ll learn hands-on how to use this scalable, lightweight, and highly flexible networking tool for exchanging messages among clusters, the cloud, and other multi-system environments.
ØMQ maintainer Pieter Hintjens takes you on a tour of real-world applications, using extended examples in C to help you work with ØMQ’s API, sockets, and patterns. Learn how to use specific ØMQ programming techniques, build multithreaded applications, and create your own messaging architectures. You’ll discover how ØMQ works with several programming languages and most operating systems—with little or no cost.
Learn ØMQ’s main patterns: request-reply, publish-subscribe, and pipeline
Work with ØMQ sockets and patterns by building several small applications
Explore advanced uses of ØMQ’s request-reply pattern through working examples
Build reliable request-reply patterns that keep working when code or hardware fails
Extend ØMQ’s core pub-sub patterns for performance, reliability, state distribution, and monitoring
Learn techniques for building a distributed architecture with ØMQ
Discover what’s required to build a general-purpose framework for distributed applications

本书主要讲述采用现代C++ 在x86-64 Linux 上编写多线程TCP 网络服务程序的主流常规技术，重点讲解一种适应性较强的多线程服务器的编程模型，即one loop per thread。这是在Linux 下以native 语言编写用户态高性能网络程序最成熟的模式，掌握之后可顺利地开发各类常见的服务端网络应用程序。本书以muduo 网络库为例，讲解这种编程模型的使用方法及注意事项。
本书的宗旨是贵精不贵多。掌握两种基本的同步原语就可以满足各种多线程同步的功能需求，还能写出更易用的同步设施。掌握一种进程间通信方式和一种多线程网络编程模型就足以应对日常开发任务，编写运行于公司内网环境的分布式服务统。
