In fact, for example, APUE, UNP, etc. Today, more than 10 years after completion, or many people's preferred textbooks, TCP / IP illustrate is one of the two sets of TCP / IP, as long as the agreement is still use, I am afraid it is Will not be eliminated.

When Andrew Hume presented the Usenix Lifetime Achievement Award in San Diego in June, he managed to say exactly two words - "Richard Stevens" -. Before a standing ovation drowned him out "I sat next to Richard's family at the presentation," says Tom Christiansen, a well-known figure in the Perl programming community who had known Stevens on and off for years. "It was stunning. I do not know if his family did, but I sure noticed a lot of the audience in tears "
"Usenix," (a word coined to get around trademark restrictions on the word "Unix") is the Advanced Computing Systems Association. W. Richard Stevens is the author of "TCP / IP Illustrated" and "Unix Network Programming," each of which runs to three volumes, and "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment." Their influence among Unix users is hard to overstate. Thousands of programmers all over the world consider Stevens a guru and his works essential to their jobs.
