Beej's Guide to Network Programming

All your kind words are literally bringing tears to my eyes--thank you! My current plan is to keep writing freely-available guides for as long as I can reach the keyboard. And maybe even longer with what will undoubtedly be awesome futuristic speech recognition--or mind-reading! That's not scary at all! I'm leaning on bash/zsh scripting one I finish the utterly gigantic C guide I'm on now... hopefully later this year. But I'm always open to suggestion for topics... :)

All Beej's guides are fantastic, but if you're interested in Network programming you could do way worse than follow this up with his guide to network concepts. https://beej.us/guide/bgnet0/ If you search Algolia for Beej you'll see his material has been on hacker news numerous times.

Oh boy, this one brings me back. I can't tell you how many times I read this guide back in the day. Beej was the bomb when it came to network programming. Another great resource for network programming is http://www.madwizard.org/programming/tutorials/netcpp/ which is aimed more at Windows users. Failing that, there's the classic Unix Network Programming Vol 1 and 2 which gives a good outline of what to expect. As it turns out, there are some really subtle aspects of network…

Is it really the 30th anniversary coming up? :mind-blown: I'm trying to finish draft 1 of my C Guide (which has turned into a monster--never attempt to write a _comprehensive_ language guide), and it's comments like these that really keep me going. Your kind words literally bring tears to my eyes. I'm just genuinely so glad that it has been so helpful, and I never would have guessed it would have been useful for so long. And I'm smugly happy…
