Network Programming

Catalog description

Concepts and techniques of developing computer programs that communicate over a network using the TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols. The course examines the use of sockets to communicate between a client and a server focusing on application-layer protocols commonly used on the Internet. Application layer topics and protocols studied include DNS, web (HTTP, HTML, and XML), electronic mail (SMTP, MIME, POP, and IMAP) and secure communication (SSL and TLS). Asynchronous and multithreaded programming technologies are studied as client and server applications are developed.
