I’ve worked in business application development for a while but have never done socket programming. I know that all HTTP transport implicitly involves socket communication but this is all abstracted when using most software frameworks. So I was curious what types of apps developed today involve socket programming?
Any kind of proprietary communication protocol running over UDP or TCP would fit this description. We have a handful of applications that communicate with embedded systems using TCP and UDP, all using specialized protocols.
