C++ Sockets Tutorial?

[bird7727]

I have been googling for a while but I cannot find any good tutorials on either Windows or Linux socket programming without using MFC. Does anyone know of any good tutorials for programmers beginning socket programming but fairly experienced with the language?

boost::asio is supposedly very good for sockets, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html

however, there are also libraries in Qt, cryptopp, and this socket library i found a while ago. http://www.alhem.net/Sockets/

good luck

Be a man, use socket().

For windows, I found MadWizard's Winsock Networking Tutorial to be pretty good, and to the point.

Also, Beej's Guide to Network Programming is very informative and thorough.

get a book called TCP/IP sockets in C pratical guide for programers... It's very good, but you should already know something before reading it...

^this is what I used to learn sockets back when and I have to say it's one of the most approachable, well written, and technically adequate tutorials I've ever read on the topic, at least for the subject matter it covers.
