I need a good book to learn CAsyncSocket and Csocket. I want to
explain in greater detail the functions and the author is an expert in
the field.

What do you recommend?

thanks

You don't need a "good book" to learn CSocket; there is only one thing you need to know
aobut CSocket: DO NOT USE IT!

For CAsyncScoket, I learned it from the MFC source samples. You might want to check out
my essay on multithreaded CAsyncSocket on my MVP Tips site; just skip over where I point
out that the KB example is complete rubbish. You don't NEED to use multiple threads; the
CAsyncSocket handling is the same in the main thread as in secondary threads, and is
essentially based on the (correct) single-threaded example of MFC socket programming.

There is no book because it would be very, very short.

I second Joe's recommendation of his article; I learned enough from it
to develop an application that handles a lot of TCP/IP communications.
The overall process is pretty straightforward, once you've seen an
example of it done correctly.
