This was actually recommended reading in one of my early UNIX classes when I went to college a decade ago. The Beej guides are still fantastic resources.
As a developer with twenty years experience, I still write networked code in C and need to refer back to Beej’s guide occasionally. I even bought the printed version. :)
I recall being put of by the overly tongue-in-cheek tone. It distracted me from what I wanted to know. Though that might be because I wanted a reference manual, and what I was reading was more like a book.
This is such an amazing guide; I read it a few months before taking my networking class in college and it helped me stay ahead. I sent it to a bunch of folks in that class and it helped them out a ton as well!

This is by far the best resource for networking ever published. His guides aren’t boring as he even makes them entertaining and fun to read

The only good reason to learn BSD sockets is to abstract towards it or away from it. https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/taps/about/
Or to implement a network stack?
Classic.
I personally dislike what they’ve done with the CSS.
If you go up a directory you’ll find a widescreen variant that looks more like it used to.
Nice, they updated the CSS. I think the source code examples look better if you allow them to overflow, at least on desktop.
Add
.sourceCode { overflow: visible; }in Stylus or whatever if you want that.
