I have recently become more interested in the network side of programming and found some tutorials on the internet and read `Beej's Guide to Network Programming'. I'd like to know your recommendations for good Network Programming books. I have heard that the books by W. Richard Stevens are good. What does /prog/ suggest?Except SICP

OP, here's a serious answer: you're right, R. Stevens a fucking guru on UNIX and networking. Go read UNP and then TCP/IP Illustrated.
First read, UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition: Networking APIs: Sockets and XTI, Prentice Hall, 1998, then you can read TCP/IP Illustrated, though only the first two tomes are vital. (the protocols & implementation)
but before you do that, you must acquaint yourself with C. If you're not comfortable, it's time to grab K&R2 and study.
