Beej's Guide to Network Programming is an EXCELLENT resource for the new network programmer. As some of you may know, I've been beating my head against the wall for the last three days trying to find the solution to a certain problem. While this guide didn't include the exact solution, the author to this guide did. Out of desperation, I emailed him and not only was his response quick, he was very helpful... and after only a short exchange my problem fixed. Beej is officially the man. I may never meet him, or even know anything at all about him... yet he helped me out without any thought of reward. Yay for people like him! (and for everyone else that tried to help me of course too). Yay for people who are nice! Yay! (While my program still isn't finished, it's much more "on the way" than it was this time yesterday)
