This book was interesting back in 2001, but today DirectPlay is deprecated, so 80% of this book is now no longer useful. That isn't saying much though: I doubt if any programming book written 8 years ago is still relevant! But still, it was an interesting read at the time and I would like to see a new edition covering Winsock2. There's like nothing in print on this subject today... I would like to find a book that covers hardcore Winsock2 and threading, and builds a rudimentary MMO concept game with a dedicated server that the reader can play around with, and use to build a few small persistent game projects.
