|
|
I'm simply wondering where to begin looking at how to begin making a VERY BASIC net chat program between two clients. This was very simple and easy to do in Turing of course, though I'm curious to know where to begin looking for how to do it in C++.
Point me in the right direction please and thanks  |

| You probably want some pre-made libraries for this. If you want to push forward, you could look into sockets and threads. It may be easier to learn it in Java first. |

Threads are not needed; simple sockets would do fine.
The question is how you want it to work. Depending on your choice of platform and if you want a GUI or text-mode interface the complexity will vary significantly. |

Right now I'm looking at a text-mode interface only, I don't really care about any GUI just yet.
I was already looking at simple sockets so I guess I was looking in the right place afterall, though even simple sockets isn't as simple as it sounds  |
