[ale] starting point recommendations

[Dylan Northrup]

You want to read "Unix Network Programming" by Stevens.  It is a bit dry,
but definitely talks quite a bit about socket programming, fork-exec, etc
and has a lot of good code in there you can use.

A long time ago, (07.11.07), in a galaxy far, far away, James P. Kinney III...:

:=I have a strong need for a network daemon. Due to portability reasons it
:=will need to be coded in C (not an area I am familiar enough with).
:=
:=I am looking for recommendations from the C coders on the list for "best
:=of breed" books to point me down the path to solid, secure network
:=daemon coding in C for only Linux environments. I have K&R (the bible -
:=duh!) and "Practical C Programming" by Steve Oualline (O'Reilly) (seems
:=a bit useful but no network discussions).
