Hi everyone,

I've recently started learning C++ and was wondering does anyone know any good networking tutorials for C++? I've tried searching but alot of them seem to be a bit over-complex - I've done network programming with Java in uni and a good bit of C++, but was hoping to find a tutorial that maybe started off a bit simpler :S

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Is probably the most referenced.

You have two options really. To do this on windows or linux.

Linux was made for network programming. I'd even go as far as installing a virtual linux machine on my windows machine for playing around.

Thanks, gonna get a look at that sometime soon

I've actually been using linux to learn c++ on so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to pick up :)

I recommend using Beej's guide. Try building some basic applications and you'll get familiar with the networking stuff quickly. If you have problems with a program, post back and ask for some help.
