networking with c++ ?

[kapo]

im new to programming but im becoming pretty efficient with the basics of c++. my question is how did you guys guys learn to network with c++?  i started reading  http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ and it kinda scrambled my brain -_-
im thinking i need to spend the next few weeks on reading a book about networking? if so, what part of networking should i focus on? (any book recommendations)
my game plan on conquering the computer is:
1. c++
2. http & css
3. php
4. sql
5. python


do you think thats a good order?

I am sorry but the beej.us page is pretty clear. If you cannot follow it I suggest you learn some more basics before tackling it again. Also, books on networking is overkill. Never read a book on networking in my life.

Also, your game plan is somewhat flawed. I agree that C++ is a smart thing to learn. Tho HTTP and CSS has very little in common. HTTP is a application layer protocol and CSS is a structured language for styling web sites. I think you mean HTML and CSS, that would make sense. Again, I agree on PHP, very handy language. SQL is pretty much always combined with PHP, so perhaps merge those two into one step. And finally python which is a ok language. Learn either or both of python and perl

if you plant to learn network programming, i think you should understand a little (deep is better) about networking, TCP/IP protocol suite 4th edition by Behrouz A. Forouzan is good one for this,,

i haven't learn c++ for network programming, but now i'm learning network programming using python with this book, Foundation of Python Network Programming by Brandon Rhodes and John Goerzen

hope it's help

dude that guide is very easy to underestand well it depends on what topic you are working for example how to send raw data to a specific protocol which I think its the hardest topic on networking but a simple client-server program or a chat client are more easy imo
