What do you mean by Socket Programming

Question

Could you give me a brief about Socket Programming fundamentals

Answer 1

Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other. One socket (node) listens on a particular port at an IP, while other socket reaches out to the other in order to form a connection.

The server forms the listener socket while the client reaches out to the server. Socket and Server Socket classes are used for connection-oriented socket programming.
