News: Right! This is the result of the major overhaul. The PDF system is completely rewritten for what I swear is the last time. At least now it should be far more Unicode-friendly, and look better, besides. Feedback and error reports are always appreciated! |

Hello, one and all! This is my little how-to guide on network programming using Internet sockets, or "sockets programming", for those of you who prefer it. The sockets API, though started by the Berkeley folk, has been ported to many many platforms, including Unix, Linux, and even Windows.
