Advanced TCP Socket Programming
Building Circular Byte Buffers
Defining TCP Message Boundaries
Creating Multi-Threaded TCP Clients
Develop TCP Server Socket Library in C++
Requirements
Knowledge of Basic Socket Programming
Basic Multi-threading Concepts
C or C++ in preferable, but if your fav language is any other mainstream language then also it is ok. Borrow the concepts and implement it in your fav language.

Zeal to learn and excel - beyond what Crowd is doing ( DS/ALGO/CP ) basic Data structures such as Linked-List.
Description
*** 28 Apr 2022 - This Course is under Development ***
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
How to manage Multiple Clients through Multiplexing
Creating Multi-Threaded Clients
Forcefully disconnecting the client
Gracefully Shutting down TCP Server
Notifying events to the application
Client new connection
Client disconnection
Client msg recvd
Detecting connection live-ness using Keep-Alive msgs
Handling Concurrency using locks
Maintaining statistics per client connection
TCP Message Demarcation
Client Migration from Multiplexed to Multi-Threaded ( Or Vice Versa )
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.
* This Course is protected by a full refund policy within 30 days of purchase
* The Emphasis of this course is on Logistics & Concepts, rather than Programming Language. You should be able to do this Course in a programming language of your choice - Java/Python etc.
Who this course is for
Warning : Not for Absolute beginners in Programming
Who want to take their programming Skills from Beginner to Professional Level
Final year students looking to crack the Interview Questions on OS, Multithreading Concepts
