socket programming in c or c++ in linux...

hello everyone,
i have read the small basic of socket programming in c and now i want to read more about it in advance level where i can deal with steaming of data
on network. is there ny tutorial available about advance socket programming in c or c++??
i am using gcc or g++ compiler in linux os.
and also i want to learn how to create gui in c or c++...share any gud link if nyone have...thnx
plz help.

Beej's Guide to Network Programming
Using Internet Sockets

wxwidgets and qt is pretty popular library for creating cross platform GUI in C++.

hello!
I have to make a user interface for a chat program in c using NCURSES. My problem is that i have codes i've found on the net but how can i integrate it to the ncurses as my UI.

My ui must have window, for messages, other, is for online clients and last is for the space to write msgs. Can someone help me how to make one...plzzz.

THANKS !

Learn ncurses BEFORE you try to combine it with another topic you are also learning (like sockets). In other words, do an ncurses tutorial, make a little ncurses program that will take input, keep the screen organized, etc. and once you are comfortable with that, do the same thing with sockets and THEN integrate them.

This will take you a few whole days no matter what.

hello!
I've started to study ncurses...but i've encounter problem such as how will i extract the list of clients that are online or just joined in the chat server.

this is my code..

***Can someone help me how to display the clients list?....

THANKS!
