asked on

client/server tutorials?

This is a non-technical question. I've been searching frantically for good Delphi tutorials on client/server programming. I don't really care if it's Indy, TServer/ClientSocket, TCPServer/Client or what. I just want some advice on which to use and where to find some good tutorials on client/server basics.

Thanks

p.s. I did download a basic client/server demo with source, but when I tried to run it I got an error saying: "Class TClientSocket not found. Ignore the error and continue?". Everytime I tried to compile I got a runtime error. I'm sure this is a fairly easy answer, so this post-script is for bonus points.

I found a small beginners tutorial at delphi.about.com, the only problem is that it references TServerSocket and TClientSocket again. It specifically said I could find them in the 'internet' component tab. The only thing even close is 'TCPClient' and 'TCPServer'. Did TServerSocket and TClientSocket disappear in Delphi 7?

Yes TclientSocket/TServerSocket vanished in Delphi 7 :(

BAlexandrov: I tried MidWare for a couple days, I'm not liking it.

srisha: Most of those links are dead.

mnasman: I like Indy, but their website just doesn't have the resources I'm looking for.

Please help me find Indy tutorials/resources for beginners.
