Learn Socket Programming in C from Scratch

Explore the C socket API and the workflow to build client and server sockets, including creating, connecting, and exchanging data over TCP using Linux (with Windows via Cygwin) environments.

Set up a socket, fill a sockaddr structure with family, port via htons, and address (INADDR_ANY or 0.0.0.0); then call connect to create a client connection with simple error handling.

Master data transfer over sockets with a C client that receives data, prints it, and closes the socket. Build a server that binds IP and port, listens, and accepts connections.

Learn how to set up a local client–server communication in C by binding to any local address on port 9000, listening, accepting a client, and exchanging data two ways.

Learn how to build a simple HTTP server atop sockets in C, implementing a request–response cycle with status codes like 200, serving a file as the response body.

Build a simple http server in C using sockets, sending a 200 ok response with header and body. Bind to port 8001, listen for connections, and reply in a loop.

Develop a basic http server in c using sockets, support get requests, serve content from the file system, and prototype an http client for requesting data, with localhost testing.

Explore advanced concepts in socket programming with C, including building simple HTTP-like clients, sending GET requests over sockets, handling server responses, and testing against real servers.

Learn the basics of socket programming in C, building client and server workflows, connecting over TCP, and exchanging data with HTTP on top, using socket functions.
