The source repository for Beej's Guide to Network Programming, a well-known free tutorial on socket programming in C. It contains the guide's text and build tooling (Pandoc/XeLaTeX) to produce HTML and PDF editions.
Use cases
- learn socket programming in C
- understand TCP and UDP networking basics
- find a beginner tutorial for Berkeley sockets
- translate the network programming guide to another language
- build the guide as HTML or PDF from source
When to choose
- you want a free, beginner-friendly introduction to network programming with sockets
- you need a reference for C socket APIs like getaddrinfo, bind, and select
- you want to contribute typo fixes or produce translations of the guide
When to avoid
- you need a networking library or code to include in your project rather than a tutorial
- you want advanced or modern async networking topics beyond basic sockets
- you need a formally licensed or maintained software package - the repo has no license
