Do You Have What It Takes to Make the Most of the Internet? 

The Internet has an incredible amount to offer, both for the casual
Internet user and the experienced software developer. But do you really
have what you need to take full advantage of the information highway? The
Coriolis Group introduces two upcoming hands-on guides that will help you
conquer the Internet. 

Internet File Formats

The Internet is like a maze when it comes to sending and receiving files.
At last count there were more than 250 different file formats on the Net,
everything from simple text files to compressed files full of graphics or
multimedia data. Internet File Formats, written by noted communications
expert Tim Kientzle, is your complete source for sending, receiving, and
using Internet files, whether you're a new user or a seasoned programmer,
and whether you use a PC, Macintosh, or Unix machine. With Internet File
Formats, you'll discover:

* The best way to transfer files 
* The most efficient way to send big files 
* How to use Internet files transfer programs, such as FTP 
* How to convert Internet files from one format to another 
* The best places on the Internet to find different types of files 
* How popular file compression techniques supported by the Internet
  work

Internet File Formats also includes a CD-ROM packed with: 

* Player programs to use files you download from the Internet 
* Compression and decompression utilities 
* Utilities to help you convert files from one format to another 
* Internet software to help you efficiently transfer your files 
* Tools to help you create HTML files and publish on the Web 

Developing for the Internet with Winsock

The future of software development is moving toward the practice of
creating applications that can communicate with the World Wide Web. The
Coriolis Group's Developing for the Internet with Winsock by Dave Roberts

interface to the Internet TCP/IP.

In more than 650 pages, Developing for the Internet with Winsock: 

* Explains how to create mail-enabled software 

* Teaches you to implement major Internet protocols, including Finger,
SMTP, POP3, MIME, NNTP, and FTP

that incorporate reusable C++ classes for each Internet protocol service 

You'll also get a CD-ROM packed with: 

* Ready-to-use Winsock code modules for C, C++, and Delphi 
* More than 50 different shareware and freeware Winsock applications
