network programming pre-newbie: tips?

I'm thinking of starting to learn how to write programs to run on linux
which deal with networking. Can anyone give me some pointers and some
advice on what's the best way to learn linux network programming?


Thanks in advance

Start here ....

http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~milun/unix.programming.html

For off-line reader like me, download this excellent guide ...

http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

And last but not the least, try googling with these keywords

"network programming" +linux
"socket programming" +linux

You'll get plenty of pre-newbie tips! GCC is your default compiler.
Should you google with client.c or server.c ,most of the examples are
in C language. For IDE like eclipse, Anjuta and others, try here at

The early bible for this subject is R.Stevens "Unix Network
Programming".
