Ideas for videos, threads, and posts
Angles that have traction and that this book genuinely supports.
Learn TCP/IP by building it in Go
Walk through writing an actual TCP server and client, then a chat app or a file transfer tool — the book supplies complete runnable code for each step.
"AI can write a TCP server. Do you know if it's right?"
Compare an AI-generated network server against the book's version. The point: understanding beats accepting generated code.
From zero to your own honeypot
The cybersecurity part builds working tools in Go — port scanners, sniffers, IDS/IPS, honeypots. Great live-coding or tutorial material.
The anti-tutorial: theory first, then code
Most tutorials jump straight to code. This book deliberately teaches the mental model first. A fresh take to contrast with typical content.
gRPC, WebRTC, and QUIC in one free book
Pick one advanced chapter and deep-dive it: streaming, real-time, mesh networks, blockchain networking, or protocol design.
Free, open source, and verifiable
A "here's a genuinely free resource" post works because there's no catch — no paywall, no signup, everything public on GitHub.
Every asset, ready to download
One social card per chapter and per part, the landing card, the book cover, app icons, and a single ZIP with everything. Search to find the one you need.
All assets are free to use to promote the book. Please don't alter the branding or imply endorsement of a product or service. Cards regenerate on every release.

Let's get the book to more learners
There is no affiliate program and no revenue share — the book is free and the text is non-commercial by license. Promoting it is a goodwill gesture, and it's genuinely appreciated. Here's what works best.
- Review the book honestly — text or video, one chapter or the whole thing.
- Do a live coding session from a chapter: a TCP server, a chat app, a port scanner, a honeypot.
- Record a "what I learned from a free book" video or a blog deep-dive of your favorite chapter.
- Pitch it to newsletters, podcast episodes about Go, networking, or security, and community resources lists.
- Compare an AI-generated network program against the book's version — it's a conversation people care about.
- Translate chapters or suggest improvements — pull requests are welcome via the contributing guide.
Credit that's required: link back to the book and mention the author (Omar Flores Salazar). The text is CC BY-NC 4.0 — sharing and adapting for non-commercial use is fine with credit; commercial reuse of the text needs permission.
Quick answers before you ask
Can I share the book or individual chapters?
Yes. The text is CC BY-NC 4.0 — you may share and adapt it for non-commercial use as long as you credit the author. The example code is MIT and can be used freely, even commercially.
Can I use it in a course or workshop?
Yes, for non-commercial teaching with credit. If you want to use the text commercially (paid course, product), ask first — the license requires permission for commercial use.
Can I monetize a review or video about the book?
Your original commentary, review, and recordings are yours. The restriction applies to republishing the book's text itself for commercial purposes, not to you talking about it.
Is there an affiliate or revenue-share program?
No. The book is free and always will be, so there's nothing to share. If you'd like to support the project, a Buy me a coffee is the way — no strings attached.
Can I translate it?
Translations are welcome as contributions to the repository (see the contributing guide). For an independent translation outside the repo, get in touch first.
I found an error. Where do I report it?
Open an issue on GitHub or email sazardev@gmail.com. Corrections, new labs, and new chapters are all welcome.
