VB6 and C
>Do you have any projects going on?
Trying to learn raw sockets in C
>What are you making?
i made a program to generate random IPs, and try to connect to them on given ports

Socket programming is quite straightforward although the biggest caveat for beginners is that they don't realize TCP is in fact a streaming protocol.
>Do you have any projects going on?
Multiple.
>What are you making?
Not your business.

i did some winsocks for a messenger bot for the network palringo
>tfw my first c++ project
>tfw the entire project is portable including my libs except my socket handler
https://github.com/CrimsonDove/Ravenclaw/blob/master/connection.cpp
got too lazy to maintain the project and forgot about it and also ditched the lame ass palringo service
>arabs at one point geo banned for distributing CP
>palringo introduces messages packs that cost money literally to post shit like trollface
>arabs get unbanned
>they literally start spending thousands on message packs and shit
>arabs now allowed to harass anyone with no worry about getting banned
it was fun while it lasted

I did make hello world web servers in Perl and Python. But then I figured out I would have to follow a big HTTP flowchart and implement all kind of crap and whatnot and I cancelled my plans to build a webserver.

Thinking, if I should revive my Electron based website generator prototype. Working on my ticket/bugtracker system.
Looking for a Jerb.

I'm making a realtime pair programming text editor with a web front end and a plugin architecture that makes it relatively easy to write a plugin to use your favorite text editor and lets plebs watch you program from the web app without needing to download a bunch of shit.
I'm cheating and using meteor for now, but it looks like my use case is quickly going to outgrow it or do some really hacky things with meteor's data protocol.

would you consider me a cunt if I replaced get_in_addr() with a ?: based #define?
>>53502127
where do I learn this shit without a specific lang in mind
aka, some pseudo programming syntax explaining concepts of sockets programming

Beej's is pretty much good to get a good quick rundown. Unix Network Programming is a lot more comprehensive and is pretty general. Most network APIs are implemented differently although they use a common method of resolution, e.g. ACK/SYN, address types, etc., so I think while admirable to learn about how networking works, I think it is better to focus your efforts on a language. I recommend C(++) because it's naturally the most intuitive for network programming while preserving low-level components, but Python and Perl are really big on the scene due to mature network libraries. gl
