The standard response is, of course :

W. Richard Stevens, 'Unix Network Programming'.
from Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-949876-1.

WRS' homepage is http://www.noao.edu/~rstevens/.

And then if he wants to understand the kernel side of things, there
are volumes by the same author (2 or is it 3 now?) which should be
listed in the reading list in the FAQ or handbook somewhere.  If he's
really serious, he should check the -hackers list archive for Terry's
Reading List, which covers the very deepest and darkest corners of the
Unix thoughtspace.
