Learning Network Programming

<p>I am trying to wrap my head around networking programming and creating server/client applications, and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to simultaneously test out and see what Go is all about. However, since I am new to network programming, I am in dire need of some resources. I found <a href="https://jan.newmarch.name/go/">this online book</a>, however, it covers Go 1 and seems like it may be a bit outdated. Can you help me gather some resources for studying and learning about network programming with Go?</p> <p>Thanks for the help.</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>pmjtoca: <pre><p>I would recommend this book : &#39;TCP/IP illustrated volume1 the protocols&#39; by K.R.Fall and W. Richard Stevens (the best for me for many years). The Jan Newmarch ebook is still (Go whatever version) an excellent and clear introduction, with Go. And do go through the Golang standard library and visit/study the source code within (plenty of trips and tricks there). On github, study <a href="https://github.com/go-kit/kit">https://github.com/go-kit/kit</a>... and you will have gathered a robust base about networking.</p></pre>skarlso: <pre><p>Second that. Learn networking, then read the doc of <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/net/" rel="nofollow">Go Net Package</a>. </p></pre>dhdfdh: <pre><p>If you really want to learn network programming, you should do it in C with <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/UNIX_Network_Programming.html?id=ptSC4LpwGA0C&amp;source=kp_cover&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">this book</a> at your side. </p></pre>earthboundkid: <pre><p>Why use C? C&#39;s problems with buffer overflows etc seem to me to add a lot of noise over and above learning networking. </p></pre>dhdfdh: <pre><p>Buffer overflow is not a C problem. That&#39;s what the programmer is to attend to. </p> <p>By using C, you are at the bit level and full control over everything. You have a deeper view and insight. While this can possibly be done with Go, it seems, from his question, he may be too far away from the nuts and bolts of networking.</p></pre>earthboundkid: <pre><blockquote> <p>Buffer overflow is not a C problem.</p> </blockquote> <p>??? Only under very tedious readings of &#34;C&#34; and &#34;problem&#34; can one make that statement true. Yes, in the end, complexity has to get pushed somewhere and it&#39;s the job of the programmer to know how to deal with things, etc. etc., buuuutttt… Go makes it much easier to not accidentally get haXXed by bad buffer management.</p> <blockquote> <p>you are at the bit level and full control over everything.</p> </blockquote> <p>But for networking the bit level <em>in memory</em> doesn&#39;t matter, only the bit level <em>on the wire</em> does, which Go gives you just as much control over as anything else.</p></pre>dhdfdh: <pre><p>Yes. As I said.</p></pre>Fwippy: <pre><p>I don&#39;t think they actually want to learn network programming - they just want to create applications that communicate over a network. They don&#39;t need to know all the details of the 7 layer OSI model, they just need enough basics to get up and running.</p></pre>dhdfdh: <pre><p>Then they should state that.</p></pre>
