Hey sloan... Thanks for this amazing video.. I am a beginner in socket programming. I learnt a lot from you. Thank you once again... Any compliment of mine can't fully appreciate your last lines.. "Information should be free"... That's how we build ourselves and everyone around us...

Thank you for teaching this, Mr. Kelly. I am working on a terminal chat client as a feature for a command line game that I built for school. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials!

I agree with last comment. When teaching the basics, just stick to the calls required and no tarting it all up in OOD or OOP, just teach whats required and then let the reader decide what to do next. All very straight forward and clear.

Thanks for a great video. I was able to follow along at home but still have some questions about the socket commands. I'll look for your other video.

you just had to scroll down a little bit on the center page there and there would have been a link to the project you where recently editing :)

Excuse me sir, @ 23:17: if we are closing the socket immediately, how can client connect to it ? apologise for the noob question; fresher into c++ and sockets

[ozgurkarter]

Awesome video which helped me to complete my project. Thank you. Is it a C64 behind you? :)

[peterSobieraj]

I did copy your code and it works. But when I added to condition to break from last while when it receive "shutdown" string, then it does exit, but it doesn't start again. Like port is still blocked.
Do I need to do anything else than close(clientSocket); to force end of comunication from server side ?

[vineetkumar]

i can connect to server using telnet but when i connect using ssh (ssh -4 192.168.x.y port=540000), i am unable to get connected and ssh does not give me any error

Amazing series. When is the client part coming for linux?

[easynavigation]

Can we connect a different pc running a c++ program to this server. If yes how please

[HeitorYT]

That's why linux is much more easy to program :)

[pcpardon]

Is there any book can you refer for socket programming beginners(especially for C++)?
