Socket Programming Basics Presentation (3)

In this final video of the Socket Programming basics presentation we will look into utility functions for byte order conversion such as ntohs() and htons(). Once the Byte ordering dilemma has been cleared, we will dive into the socket library calls such as socket(), bind(), connect(), send(), recv() etc and try and understand how to use them programmatically in code. Hopefully by the end of this video, you will be all ready for entering the world of socket programming.
