Course Overview

Welcome to our Advanced Course on TCP/IP Socket Programming! This course is tailored for learners who have already grasped the basics of Socket Programming and are looking to dive into more complex, real-world applications. Our focus is on how TCP/IP Socket Programming is applied in the industry to solve intricate networking challenges.

🎯 Course Objective: To equip you with the knowledge and skills to implement sophisticated Socket-based programs with a strong emphasis on thread management and concurrency.

What You'll Learn:

In this course, we will construct a Complete TcpServer Program that covers:

1. Multiplexing Multiple Clients:

   • Handling multiple client connections efficiently.
   • Subtopics:
     • Client new connection
     • Client disconnection
     • Client message received

2. TCP Message Demarcation:

   • Managing messages of fixed and variable sizes.
   • Subtopics:
     • Fixed Message Size Demarcation
     • Variable Message Size Demarcation

3. Integrating CLI Interface:

   • Enhancing the project with a Command Line Interface (CLI).

4. Graceful Shutdown of TCP Server:

   • Implementing a server that can shut down gracefully.

5. Creating and Managing Multi-Threaded Clients:

   • Understanding and applying multi-threading concepts in client applications.

6. Forcing Client Disconnection:

   • Learning techniques to terminate client connections.

7. Detecting Connection Live-ness:

   • Using Keep-Alive messages to ensure connection status.

8. Concurrency Handling:

   • Employing locks to manage concurrent access and avoid data corruption.

9. Maintaining Client Statistics:

   • Recording important metrics for each client connection.

10. Client Migration:

    • Transitioning clients between multiplexed and multi-threaded models (or vice versa).

11. Building a Socket Programming C++ Library over Posix:

    • Developing a robust library from the ground up for socket operations.

Pre-requisites:

To get the most out of this course, you should:

1. Have basic knowledge of TCP/IP Socket Programming using C/C++.
2. Be proficient in C/C++ programming (Intermediate Level).
3. Understand Multi-Threading basics (creating a thread, canceling a thread, understanding Producer/Consumer Pattern, binary and zero semaphores).
4. possess a strong desire to learn, explore, and conduct research independently.
5. be working on a Linux-based system, such as Linux/MacOS (No Windows support).
6. have an active GitHub account.

This Course is NOT:

1. A basic tutorial on Socket Programming or TCP/IP fundamentals.
2. An intermediate C/C++ programming language course.
3. A Data Structures or Algorithms course.
4. A Multithreading tutorial from scratch.

• Self-Contained: We build everything from the ground up, without reliance on third-party libraries.
• Flexible: The concepts taught in this course can be applied using various programming languages of your choice (e.g., Java, Python).
• Risk-Free: Your investment is protected by a full refund policy within 30 days of purchase.
