CS 356 Programming Assignments

If you have any programming questions, please contact the TA who will keep the CS356 servers up and running, and grade your programs. Also see the TA web page for helpful information and turnin instructions.
 

If you program in C, here is a good reference:

Michael J. Donahoo and Kenneth L. Calvert, The Pocket Guide to TCP/IP Sockets (C Version), Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 2001.

If you program in Python, a tutorial is available at http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

A guide for beginners to learn Python can be found at

http://www.ibiblio.org/swaroopch/byteofpython/read/

However the above guide does not cover socket programming.  The following is a good supplement:
