Chris,
What a timely question!!! For socket programming I would recommend a book by
a professor at University of Hartford named John Gray. It's called "Interprocess
Communications in Unix", the second edition just came out recently with a lot of POSIX
threads stuff, and it also has almost everything you need to know about advanced unix
programming. Not to mention there are enough examples to help you along the way. I've
been using this book for most of the semester and it's really great..
Pretty odd becuase I had been planning on starting up my own project this
summer along the same lines.. somewhat. Good LUCK !!

--> Being new to Linux, I decided to see what all the fuss is about
--> and setup
--> a BBS. I'm a fairly adept C coder, but I've never really mucked about
--> in a UNIX / networking environment before.
-->
--> What I want to do is build a multi-user BBS system for Linux (akin to,
--> say, GalactiComm on DOS) and build a multi-user interactive
--> chat program.
--> I know this is possible, and I've come across various source
--> code listings
--> for similar software, but the code isn't commented very well if at all,
--> and I'm left more confused than before.
-->
--> I've gathered that I'll need to use sockets and the networking layer,
--> even though I'll only be connecting to localhost. Can anyone point
--> me in the right direction to do so? Are there any good FAQs or websites
--> or references for beginners? Thanks!
