though I haven’t worked with sockets professionally, I find them interesting. I read some part of Unix Network Programming by Richard Stevens (considered to be the Bible I suppose as it is referred by everyone I ask) but the problem is the examples require a universal header unp.h which is a PIA to use.
Can some of you suggest a good reading for socket programming in Unix/Linux? Considering I am relatively experienced C/C++ coder.
The canonical reference is UNIX Network Programming by W. Richard Stevens. upn.h is really just a helper header, to make the book examples clearer – it doesn’t do anything particularly magic.
To get up and running very quickly, it’s hard to go past Beej’s Guide To Network Programming using Internet Sockets.
