Network Programming

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to computer networks and the programming of network applications. This course will emphasize using the Sockets API to implement application layer protocols, especially the HTTP protocol used by web servers. In addition, the course will cover network abstraction layers from a programmer’s perspective, explaining what is needed in order to write correct, reliable network programs. Prerequisite(s): CS 30200 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Write network applications using the Sockets API and various concurrency models. 2. Be familiar with important application layer protocols (HTTP, DNS, SMTP, etc.). 3. Be able to analyze a client-server exchange of HTTP request/response headers. 4. Classify network functionality into the appropriate abstraction layer. 5. Explain how a packet is routed over the Internet. 6. Explain how a network can detect and correct transmission errors. 7. Test and debug networked applications. View Class Schedule
