This isn't a book to put on a shelf. It's meant to be used, tested, and adapted as you build your networking skills. In this new edition, I've been working on making the teaching flow better and making technical stuff clearer without overwhelming you. You'll get the basics down, like how C++ works well with TCP/IP and how sockets are the foundation for communication. Then, I'll show you how to build real client-server apps, set up IP addressing, and use protocols like HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, and DNS directly through C++ code. Each example is practical and you can actually implement it. It shows you not just how something works, but why it matters in real networking scenarios.

This second edition is for Python programmers who want to get into networking but don't want to feel overwhelmed. My goal is to make you comfortable with reading code and using it to solve real-world networking problems. A lot of people wrote to me saying that it helped them automate tasks that they had been doing manually for years, while others shared how it gave them the confidence to switch careers or take on more advanced responsibilities in their roles.

You’ve spent hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, on risk and compliance. Yet you still can’t answer the most basic question: “At this very moment, are we compliant and within our risk thresholds?” Combined Assurance Blueprinting exposes why the system is broken and shows you how to finally fix it.

I'll teach you to craft strong APIs with FastAPI, use Pydantic and SQLAlchemy for data integrity, and apply patterns that avoid repetition. As we go through CRUD operations, advanced pagination, filtering, and bulk data handling, you'll see that each concept builds on what came before. You'll learn to add features and connect them into a smooth whole. You'll find step-by-step instructions for secure authentication, password resets, role-based permissions, and even two-factor authentication. When we talk about user experience, I show you to implement dynamic forms, drag-and-drop uploads, custom error pages, and theme toggles. You'll learn to bring external services into your app, like sending emails, integrating SMS, or allowing users to log in with Google or GitHub.
