No. Stinson's book is, in fact, more on the theoretical side of
cryptography. A more appropriate book for developers (I assume
you are a programmer) is Bruce Schneier's book, Applied
Cryptography, 2nd edition. In it, you'll find code snippets
written in C, as well as source for some symmetric key
algorithms (both secure and non-secure).
