Foundations of Python Network Programming

Written long-winded with too many adjective.The authors needs multple sentecens (or even paragrpahs) to make a single point.A lot of "how" but very limited "what" and "why".Example: the author introduces Sockets with a client-server example. But zero background is given on the concept of Sockets -beyond that Socket allow making low level system calls available-.Yes, the author assumes (and states such) that the reader already is familair with Python, which makes sense.Yet, introducing network concepts like Sockets without zero background and detials misses the point of a Python Networking book.

This book is the ultimate cliffhanger from hell (at least kindle version). The information looks amazingly in depth and informational, but then text is missing in definitions and important areas.Example: "The mathematical mark that a CA makes upon a certificate to demonstrate its approval is called a."Then it moves to the next sentence. The actual term itself is missing.Another example, "The first demand of your TLS client will be that the remote server provide a binary document called a , which includes what cryptologists call a public key"It's like the definitions are missing. I can't tell if it's a kindle reader issue or an issue with the book, but it's an issue across browsers (at least firefox and chrome)

The book is not good for beginners be cause is so hard to understand if Like challenge you should read the book on network but it cool features might the good networking

I think this book is clear and has many samples using Python3. There are many books about Python2, but but we don't have many about Python3. This book presents the use of some basic network services like HTTP, DNS, IMAP, POP and FTP.

Highly knowledgeable author that takes you from a very limited understanding of to a well informed network Python programmer. Made difficult concepts easy to understand while still maintaining its literal context in order to fully grasp it's meaning.

It’s a great book

I sleep better after reading a few pages. :-D

It's great printed and with good quality. Price deserves the product.

As expected from a book that's about 5 years old now - the material is a little out dated. However the author has done a pretty good job at keeping the online code repository up to date.I'm only 2 chapters in a the moment and about half of the code doesn't work as is. However - changing the code and the behaviours is not overly complicated as Python is very well documented. The title is accurate - the book and its challenges covers the foundation of network coding with Python.I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Finding a good intermediate programming book can be difficult, and this book is NOT the answer to your prayers. The authors waffle on too much, the code examples are long and boring with no accompanying analysis, and the constant use of the 'argparse' module is annoying.The reader is assured at the start of the book that no prior knowledge of networks is required, but then the authors immediately start talking about things like 'SSH' and 'Telnet' without any explanation as to what they are. These incompetent idiots clearly don't have the ability to explain networking to newbies.Instead of wasting money on this book, buy "Core Python Applications Programming" by Wesley Chun instead. His coverage of networks isn't nearly as comprehensive, but he does a much better job of explaining things than this terrible book.

Volevo da tempo questo libro. Consigliassimo per tutti quelli che sono affascinati dal mondo delle reti come me. Molto soddisfatto!

I need to develop tcp ip version from one of my programs and Ineeded solid and practical basement for that work.

Somewhat more about tcp.ip i would like
