Best language for socket programming

[cryptid]

alright i think i will go the c/C++ way so please suggest some good books winsock programming.... i am currently reading Linux socket programming by example looks pretty decent so far i am able to understand the programs but was unable to compile it under my Ubuntu 8.04 with gcc 4

please take a looks at it

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int
main(int argc,char **argv) {
int z; /* Status return code */
int s[2]; /* Pair of sockets */
/*
* Create a pair of local sockets:
*/
z = socketpair(AF_LOCAL,SOCK_STREAM,0,s);
if ( z == -1 ) {
fprintf(stderr,
“%s: socketpair(AF_LOCAL,SOCK_STREAM,0)\n”,
strerror(errno));
return 1; /* Failed */
}
/*
* Report the socket file descriptors returned:
*/
printf(“s[0] = %d;\n”,s[0]);
printf(“s[1] = %d;\n”,s[1]);
system(“netstat --unix -p”);
return 0;
}



the error returned is ...

Well it's happening cos you did C-c C-v. Look at the ""

its the "quotes and ticks" problem which happens while copying from ebooks
lolz...noob

 

[mehulved]

No, it isn't ticks.

 

[Faun]

^^you sure its not double quotes ?

"quotes and ticks is a general name to this problem coined by neo darwin"
lolz

Oh noes, its turning into a language war!

Die QwertyM for starting a language war

+1 more for Java...

BTW, whats SWT ray|raven ?? Do u mean AWT ?? And if it is AWT, then instead of that, use Swing which is more advanced !

Like Chandru.in said , its another gui toolkit for Java.
The advantage over Swing is that , SWT lets the native system draw the widgets , so they're faster than swing widgets , and the look-n-feel is consistent. It also takes away some load from the JVM i guess.

The disadvantage is that , you gotta compile each platform's version with a compatible version of SWT.

I never said a word against any language, and I gave an example in the one I could
