Advanced TCP/IP Socket Programming in C/C++ ( Posix )

Welcome to this Course on TCP/IP Socket Programming. Unlike other Courses, this is Advanced Course on Socket Programming. This course assumes that you are already familiar with Socket Programming basics and now want to take it to the next level. This course is about how TCP/IP Socket Programming is deployed in the industry to solve complex networking problems.

We will go beyond simple implementation of client/servers programs present all over the internet ( Advanced Course )

Course objective: Learn how to implement a typical complex Socket based Programs, closely tied to thread management

In this course, we will be going to build the Complete TcpServer Program in which we will cover :

1. How to manage Multiple Clients through Multiplexing

2. Notifying events to the application

   1. Client new connection

   2. Client disconnection

   3. Client msg recvd

3. TCP Message Demarcation

   1. Fixed Message Size Demarcation

   2. Variable Message Size Demarcation

4. Integrate CLI interface with the Project

5. Gracefully Shutting down TCP Server

6. Handling Concurrency using locks

7. Implementing connect() with retries

8. Creating Multi-Threaded Clients

9. Forcefully disconnecting the client

10. Detecting connection live-ness using Keep-Alive msgs

11. Maintaining statistics per client connection

12. Client Migration from Multiplexed to Multi-Threaded ( Or Vice Versa )

13. Building Socket Programming C++ Library over Posix

Pre-requisites :

1. Basic knowledge of TCP/IP Socket Programming through C/C++

2. C/C++ programming ( Intermediate Level )

3. Multi-Threading Basic Concepts ( creating a thread, Cancelling a thread, Producer/Consumer Pattern, Binary and Zero Semaphores )

4. Zeal to learn, explore and do research

5. Linux-based Course, should be done on Linux/MAC-OS only. No Windows Pls.

6. You should have a GitHub account.

This Course is not a :

1. Teaching basic Socket Programming and fundamentals

2. C/C++ programming language tutorial

3. Data Structure or Algorithm Course

4. Multithreading Tutorial

* We don't use any third-party library. Everything is built up from scratch.
