BSD Sockets Programming from Multi-Language Perspective is written for software developers who need to create a variety of network applications using the standard Sockets API. This began with a clearly detailing the efficient and effective Sockets API for networked application development in C language Using six different languages in all, including the imperative language (C), object-oriented language (Java, Ruby, Python), and scripting languages (Perl, Tcl), you learn the advantages and disadvantages of each language as they relate to the development of network applications and the Sockets API. The pattern also illuminate the differences between the network APIs for each language and identify specific ways to make the language simple patterns and others make them complex. KEY FEATURES * Provides comprehensive coverage of the Socket API * Offers complete coverage of the BSD socket options and their effects on network applications * Discusses the use Socket APIs in a variety of popular languages, including C, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby and Tcl programming language * * Shown in alternative network Analyze specific implementation of the pattern of standard software for each language covered, including simple web server, email client, multicast and broadcast patterns, and provide * more concise and helpful tips on making an efficient network applications and avoid common pitfalls On the CD CD-ROM consists of two parts: software and tools. In the software directory software patterns and examples for each language. * Software Patterns Contains 15 subdirectories that includes several chapters from the book code examples from the book are included, as well as software patterns for Ruby, Tcl, C, Perl, Python, and Java * Software Contains software tools and the language version used in the book The interpreter * Perl, Ruby, Tcl, and Python are included in the form of the source, and executables are provided for Ruby and Python PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Minimum system requirements for equipment, patterns, and examples are: Pentium I processor or above; CD-ROM Drive, Hard Drive (350MB of space available for equipment, 1MB for patterns and examples); 128MB of RAM; The tool and sample code provided in this book requires a Linux (tested with Red Hat 7.2, but will run the standard distribution) or Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP with Cygwin.
