#2Beej's Guide to Network programming (http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/) is also pretty good. It was effectively used as the textbook in my networking class. (There was also an actual textbook, but almost nobody bothered to read it.)

Second this guide. It’s pretty short, but it has everything I’ve seemed to need at least.

This has been around for 15+ years. I wouldn't be surprised if it is recommended to every newcomer on forums and chat channels.

#5This is amazing. It's a shirt and a quick understanding guide.

#6I like the style. It's somewhat reminiscent of _why's Poignant Guide to Ruby. (I wouldn't be surprised if the inspiration were actually in the reverse direction.)

BeeJ has been around for longer than why

Was there anything in the textbook that was explained better than in the Beej Guide?

It's definitely worth reading, but be aware that it's quite old-fashioned in that it focuses entirely on blocking I/O and select(). Also this page fails to explain why you would call shutdown(): http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/output/html/multipage/shutdownman...

#10Also good as a supplement:
* A Tutorial on Pointers and Arrays in C: http://home.netcom.com/%7Etjensen/ptr/pointers.htm
* Right-left Rule: http://ieng9.ucsd.edu/~cs30x/rt_lt.rule.html (via HN)
* More free C stuff: https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/bl...
(I had to go search through lots of stuff to finally find resources that explain things in a way that I can understand. Once it is explained to me in a certain way, C code suddenly feels a lot less cryptic and I feel a lot less hopeless/useless.)
