C++ Network Programming with Windows Sockets

Geared for novice and experienced network programmers alike. Provides a tutorialthat brings novices up to speed quickly, and provides a detailed reference..The purpose of this book is to show you how to make network-aware applicationsthat run on the Microsoft Windows and Windows NT operating systems using theWindows Sockets (WinSock) Application Programming Interface (API). To that end,several practical examples are examined that utilize the basic functionality ofWinSock. Network operating systems, such as Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT,provide basic file and printer sharing services. This most basic level of functionalityis provided “out of the box.” Network-aware applications are programs that usethe capabilities of a collection of connected computers. Network-aware programsrange from custom applications that transfer data among computers on a networkto mainstream applications that enable electronic mail and remote database access The WinSock API is a library of functions that a programmer can use to build thesenetwork-aware applications. WinSock has its roots in Berkeley sockets as introducedin the Berkeley Software Distribution of UNIX. WinSock uses the TCP/IP (TransmissionControl Protocol/Internet Protocol) suite, which provides the formal rules of behaviorthat govern network communications between all computers running this particularcomputer networking protocol.

windows Sockets (winsock), A Standard Network Api Co-developed By Pc Network Industry Leaders Including Microsoft, Novell, Hewlett-packard, And Ftp Software, Is An Extraordinary Resource For Windows Network Programmers. This Book Will Enable You To Reap Winsock's Full Benefits To Create Client And Server Network Applications For Use On Any Tcp/ip Network, Including The Internet. It Also Lays The Groundwork For Winsock Application Development Using Other Protocol Suites.

the Book Describes How To Develop 16- And 32-bit Winsock Applications, And Focuses On Designs That Will Run On Any Winsock Implementation. It Highlights The Differences That Exist Between Winsock Dlls, And Other Traps And Pitfalls In Network Application Development, And Shows You How To Avoid Them. It Covers Every Function In Version 1.1 Of The Winsock Specification, And Provides A Detailed Tour Of The Newest Features In Winsock Version 2.
