Abstract
Communicating over the Internet is becoming an increasingly integral part of many modern computer programs. It’s hard to find any programs that don’t connect to another instance of the same program or to a web server that provides essential functionality to some part of the program or an app. This creates opportunities for developers to specialize in the field of network programming. You can take several different approaches when writing connected programs, and using a high-level library is a valid technique; however, this chapter looks at the Berkeley Sockets library that can be used on OS X, Linux, and Windows.
