Is there a good book for ruby sockets programming or we have to rely on Unix C books for theory and source ?.
If the goal is to learn socket programming I would recommend using C and reading through some Unix system programming books. The books will probably be much better and go into more detail than a sockets book that is Ruby specific (mainly because C, Unix and sockets have been around much longer than Ruby and my quick Googling didn’t find a Ruby specific book).
Books I would recommend:
After getting a handle on the sockets in general (even if you don’t write any C) the Ruby API for sockets will make much more sense.
