— Greg Wilson, Dr. I think Apress is bringing a lot of helpful programming texts to the world. I intend to read this book to learn how to write client-server networking programs. As is typical of Apress books, there are a lot of specific code examples to help the reader see exactly how it should be done. This book is 99% good, and the only reason that isn't 100% is due to the wide scope of the book. Which, then again, is also a good thing.
To guide readers through the new scripting language, Python, this book discusses every aspect of client and server programming. And as Python begins to replace Perl as a favorite programming language, this book will benefit scripters and serious application developers who want a feature-rich, yet simple language, for deploying their products.
The text explains multitasking network servers using several models, including forking, threading, and non-blocking sockets. Furthermore, the extensive examples demonstrate important concepts and practices, and provide a cadre of fully-functioning stand alone programs. Readers may even use the provided examples as building blocks to create their own software.
