Windows Sockets (WinSock), a standard network API co-developed by PC network industry leaders including Microsoft, Novell, Hewlett-Packard, and FTP Software, is a resource for Windows network programmers. This work will enable you to reap WinSock's benefits to create client and server network applications.
Bob Quinn, currently with FTP Software, was a significant contributor to the version 1.1 specification, and co-administrator of the clarification group for WinSock version 2. He has been developing TCP/IP networks for more than five years, and was primarily responsible for the development of FTP Software's WinSock DLL.
Dave Shute, now an independent consultant, worked for FTP when Windows Sockets first appeared on the market, originally as a technical writer and eventually as the director of marketing.
