Well, after doing lots of C++ for a while, I have finally decided that I need to delve into some networking. I've been working on a 3d game for a fair few months now, and decided that one majorly cool feature to have would be networking.

Since its all OOP, and all the systems are fairly well encapsulated, I reckon I could possibly get away with fitting an abstract layer for networking on top or something; the problem is, however, is that I would like a book as opposed to a net tutorial: that way I can read and make notes away from the PC.

The big problem here, however: Where on earth can I get my hands on a modern (WS2) book? I've looked on Amazon etc. but can only find severely outdated books.

Anyone know where I can get a good one?


EDIT: I'm a beginner with WS not C++

Well, I finally decided to create a website that really reflects what kind of programmer I really are: OneManBand software: http://www.ombsoft.com
