cleint/server programming

[venAdder]

Hi,

This is the first time am trying to do any kind of network prograaming.
My main interest is in TCP/IP and communication between applications over a network

Can someone please point to a good article on synchorous/asynchorous sockets , general guidlines over what to choose.

Thanx

Those reviews are ill-considered. It's a good book, particularly for someone who is trying network programming for the first time. It's true that it's not an advanced Winsock 2 book, but it's still very good.

On-line resources include the samples of network programming that can be found at this FAQ: "Where can I find examples of socket programs?" at http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=326666

Also, Beej's guide is good: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ .
