From basic concepts to practice, TCP/IP Socket Programming in One Lecture! 🙏
Learning with C# TCP/IP Socket Programming 📌
Wait ✋ What is TCP?
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connects two networks and transmits data in small packets. It ensures the orderly and error-free exchange of data between programs running on computers connected to local area networks, the Internet, and other networks.
TCP sockets are commonly used when building game or chat servers. However, creating a server in C presents a significant language barrier and makes it difficult to use across multiple platforms.
C# solves these problems. It's easy to learn and can be used in a variety of fields, including games, mobile, web, and servers. This course will teach you the key features and various options of TCP sockets, which form the basis of these servers. You'll also learn how asynchronous programming in C# sockets has evolved, equipping you to implement modern, task-based asynchronous programming .
Lecture Features ✨
In the process of exchanging data You can learn more about the role of each function .
Various features and options of TCP sockets I can see it.
A modern Task style for C# sockets You can do asynchronous programming.
Practical training through chat programs You can build a TCP server-based system .
Learn things like this 📚
1. Introduction
Before doing socket programming, we will explain the basic network terminology and socket terminology.
2. Socket Programming
Create a program that exchanges messages between a server and a client. We'll introduce various functions for exchanging messages.
3. TCP socket features and options
Learn about the features of TCP sockets and how to change various options.
4. Asynchronous Programming
Learn how asynchronous programming with C# sockets has evolved. You'll also learn how to receive messages from multiple clients on a single server and send and receive messages.
5. Real-life chat program
Let's build a foundation for how a TCP server is created in practice by creating a chat program.
Let's also learn about blocking simultaneous account access, which is not easy to learn.
6. Appendix
Here are some things that would be good to know.

Expected Questions Q&A 💬
Q. Do I need to know C# grammar?
Yes, you need to know basic grammar.
Q. Do I need network player knowledge?
It's a good idea to study in advance, but basic terms will be explained separately.
Q. Can I create a game server?
You can only learn the basics, and you will need to study techniques for game servers separately.
Introducing the Knowledge Sharer ✒️
I'm a C# developer who started developing with Xamarin and WPF in 2017. I currently run an Android mobile game and have developed game servers and web servers in C#. While there are many C language socket courses, a proper C# one is rare. I've become a knowledge sharer to teach you the fundamentals of C# TCP sockets, which will help you build amazing servers in the future.
Things to note before taking the course 📢

Who is this course right for?
For those who want to try basic TCP socket programming
Anyone who wants to lay the foundation for a game server and chat server
It was great that you explained it concisely and in an easy-to-understand way along with the coding.
I think it would have been good to also check the code for the homework part about data transmission from server to client... It would be nice to have the answer source code for verification after trying it myself.
