What is this? Well, it’s a guide to a bunch of concepts that you might see in networking. It’s not Network Programming in C—see Beej’s Guide to Network Programming1 for that. But it is here to help make sense of the terminology, and also to do a bit of network programming in Python.
Is it Beej’s Guide to Network Programming in Python? Well, kinda, actually. The C book is more about how C’s (well, Unix’s) network API works. And this book is more about the concepts underlying it, using Python as a vehicle.
