Is this book still relevant?

I am trying to learn network programming with unix/linux.

Unix Network Programming, Volume 1: The Sockets Networking API (3rd Edition)
http://www.amazon.com/Unix-Network-Programming-Sockets-Networking/dp/0131411551/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310005396&sr=8-1

It was published in 2003, but it is the latest book I can find on the sockets api in linux/unix. Is the code used in here possibly outdated? Also, I am only a beginner C++ programmer and this book uses C. Can I code everything in this book using a C++ compiler?

Yes. All the more recent books just regurgitate what's here.

[writetonsharma]

the best book on the topic i think.

[kooth]

Yes. I have volumes 1 and 2 of the second edition and I just bought the third edition of volume 1 about six months ago. It's simply the best!

Can I use the the sockets api with c++ code or does it have to be coded in c?

[Athar]

You can use it in C++, however you might want to write some wrapper classes in order to use the API efficiently in C++.

Do you know where I can find more information on this?

C++ Network Programming (Volumes 1 and 2) are good but they use ACE.
