Socket Programming

[Bludklok]

I'm starting to take interest in socket programming and maybe see what I can accomplish with it. If anyone here has had experience as a socket programmer or is currently learning sockets rate the difficulty on a scale of 1 - 10 for me. And if anyone has good socket tutorials they would like to recommend by all means tell me. It would be highly appreciated.

I think it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. First thing I did when I learned it was make Server/Client classes and it has turned out to be really useful.

Beej's Guide to Network Programming Using Internet Sockets
This is probably what you want. You can read what some people have said about it here.

That is actually the one I've been reading for the past 30+ mins. Thanks for posting though. :D

Very helpful, but wont teach you everything. However they're good for giving the general idea of how to use sockets properly.

This may or may not help... I intend to look over the lecture notes when I have time.
One of my teachers has a Client / Server programming class.
