Hello!<br />
The only book I found with ACE C++ Netwrok Programming dates back to 2002 and 2003.<br />
Are they any good?<br />
How much things have changed?<br />
<br />
I am looking for tutorials type of materials to get started.<br />
Especially with regards to serving HTTP request and requesting HTTP content.<br />
As far as the content requested I will be dealing with (XML, JSON, HTML, Text and base64 encoded data)<br />
<br />
Project is the design of a specialized custom middleware blackbox that must be written in C++ and able to run on Windows, Mac and Linux<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help!

ACE Network Programming Library

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
