hi
i know how network programming work at the lowest level.
there are sockets that send data and receive data. and that all.
but i want to do advanced network programming? i dont even know what i want/have to learn actually? otherwise i would just google for it.

Ive been programmign networks for years adn Im still waitign to learn everything. I don't think its possibleor useful to learn everything, just learn what you need at the moment, most of it you will never have to deal with.

You'll want to get in touch with Beej (http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/). Besides the basics, he covers things like serialization, asynchronous communication, and others. There's some recommended books at the end too.
