Very Good Introduction to a complex topic

I think soon every device you can imagine will be internet enabled. This book is a good introduction for people like me that aren't internet gurus. It isn't really about the hardware. It is about the internet protocols and how to work with them using small hardware.Another review said it wasn't a TINI tutorial. That's true. It doesn't say that it is. You do need to RTFM this book is more about internet concepts and less about the specific tools although it uses the TINI and the Stamp thing. I don't have either of these chips yet, but the ideas were useful.That same review said the code wasn't well commented. That depends... there aren't a lot of simple comments in the code but I found comments where they were necessary. And the text in the chapter explains the code in a lot of detail. So if you are just skimming the listings, yes the code might seem hard to follow. But if you read the text the code is explained in great detail.I do wish the code were on a disk or on the net. I may buy a TINI or a Stamp and try some of the projects. If the code were available I'd have given it a 5.I'm about 1/2 through the book and how the internet works at a detailed level is much clearer to me now. If you want a good introduction to networking a micro you will enjoy this book.
