From Windows Sockets Programming Beginner to High-Performance Servers!

Following the previous System Programming-Basics, I moved into socket programming, and the lecture made clear what had felt abstract before - concepts like "Socket = File" and "when you go TCP, it becomes TCP Socket." I couldn't understand what these meant before. Also, the 3-way handshake process and the use of listen, bind, accept functions that I couldn't grasp when just looking at theory - experiencing how coding follows the exact same sequence as shown in diagrams made me feel like I could become friends(?) with socket programming diagrams. It seems like this was a meaningful lecture in that regard. ===== By this week, I'll complete a full review of the socket programming lectures / restudy the address book linked list, and then move into network programming. Since there's a lot of overlap with my previous studies in OS, TCP/IP, and system programming, understanding hasn't been too difficult, so progress is going faster than expected, making me wonder "Is this right?" 😆😆

(25/07/27/Sun 19:50) I've finished listening to all the network roadmap lectures. ^^; I learned a lot from each lecture. The phrase "always think about abnormal error states (LAN line disconnection)..." from this lecture really resonated with me. Thank you for creating such great lectures.

Thank you for always uploading good lectures.

It is a course that focuses on actual network programming rather than code-based classes, and the class is conducted by explaining key points during the course. I think that network and server developers should take this course at least once.

Thank you so much for making such great lectures, teacher~! You also showed us debugging in the middle and it was such a friendly lecture! I'll take some time to organize myself and then I'll start the last network programming lecture.

I am listening to most of the instructor's lectures. All the lectures are always very satisfying. Thank you. Have a happy new year~^^

Important concepts are mentioned again throughout the lecture, so they stick in my head easily.

I am an undergraduate student who has only studied through books. I wanted to hear stories directly from an expert, so I decided to attend the lecture. Not only do I learn socket communication technologies from basic echo servers to IOCP servers, but I also think that other background knowledge that is given here and there is also delicious knowledge. However, the lecture style is similar to reviewing code, so the process of directly following the code to learn programming is completely left up to the students. Some people can just let the lecture flow like water, while others can completely absorb it, which is not a disadvantage. It is up to the individual taking the class. I think it can be a very valuable lecture if you study through review, practical training, and additional utilization.
