Hi guys,
Does anybody know where I can find a simple Linux socket tutorial? I've been having a look at beejs tutorial i understand all concepts but as soon as he gets to the code, I start losing him. I think it's more c then c++.
Is there an alternative targeted at beginners?
Also,
The app that I want to create will have client on Linux and server on windows so equally, I'll need to learn windows sockets. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I think the API is in C in both the platforms.Quote:

There are plenty of higher level cross platform implementations made with C++.
I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic; so, I won't suggest a 'best' one.
Beej's tutorial is geared for beginners, but it does assume you know basic C or C++.Quote:

Beej's guide is not only for beginners. It is for beginners and intermediate network programmers.
Windows socket and linux sockets are similar if you are using BSD sockets. A little bit of extra codes needed for windows, Beej's Guide to Network Programming
You have to read a few times if you don't understand. You will eventually understand.
I'll give beej's another go. I'm ok with c++, there are just a few things that trouble me. Thanks guys.
