In my opinion, Linux network programming, especially socket programming, isn’t that difficult. However, learning this topic on your own can be challenging because many online resources are unclear, and sample codes often only cover the basics. You might find yourself unsure of what to do next. That's why I created this tutorial. It aims to give you clear guidelines and plenty of examples to help you understand better.

I skimmed through it and it looks good.

Since I didn’t see this in the list of references, I have to ask — have you heard of the (famous) Beej’s Guide to Network Programming [1]? It’s a classic (in the sense that it’s been around for a long, long time and goes into many more details) on this topic.

beej was also a great place to take the first steps in network programming :) I just updated my reference list. This is one of my missing piece. Thank you for the reminder.

Beej’s was great for me when I was doing some socket programming in C for my OS class in grad school. Classic and invaluable resource.
