Greetings,
This is my first post in the Sockets and Internet Protocol forum. I'm a beginner who just knows ( perhaps partially ) what a server is, what a socket is, what a network connection is, what a protocol is. But that's just all about it. I know what they mean individually but I have no idea how they function together. If at all I have some ideas, they are sort of vague. I wanna acquire a basic understanding of how these things work together at the network IO level. If I have to write a simple network I/O application, what would be my steps, challenges, and such things...
Do you have some basic tutorial or a link that I could refer to. If you have some theory-based tutorial that uses short code examples to emphasize the points made, it'd be great. That sort of thing works very well with me. :-)
I do not know what all topics I should read about or what APIs I should refer to. Could you please give me some pointers on that too?
Thanks,
Chan.
