c++ networking

[paul9519]

hi,

i have been programming c++ for a few years now and i would like to start learning networking.
What are some good libraries for c++ sockets/networking?.
Any good tutorials?
Any good books about it?
Is there anything important i should be familiar with before i start learning?

Thank You Very Much

I recommend "Beej's Guide to Network Programming". Lots of useful information there regarding sockets.

Normally, the target operating system you are developing for provides their own network API implementations (BSD sockets or not). There are also cross-platform implementations like Boost, Qt, etc.
