Need help w/ networking at the most (free)basic level.

Post by Paragon »

So right... Anyway... I am not a compleate noob but i don't have any bearings at all as far as networking goes. Anyone got any tutorials i can find that are easy to read and kind of give you a start from ground zero... like what you need and where to get it and all that... I mean... yea... Maybe like a tcp/ip hello world type tutorial or something?

Personally, I'm a SDL_Net buff, but there are a few others out there that are FB compatible - look at the sticky topic on the Library forum section.

sdl.org has api documentation on everything in the library, including the network interfacing

the problem with this library, is that it is very highlevel, so if you like ot know how it works, you need to dig a little deeper

Google "Beej's guide to network programming" for a really good and indepth guide...it's really for linux c programmers, but alot of it can be applied to freebasic

anyways, maybe that will give you a good start
