I want to build a net chat application using C. This is my first project but I don’t know what material to refer. Please recommend some articles or videos.
Do you mean your first ever application or do you mean something else? Because you would need a couple things before even attempting such a thing.
Additionally, for these purposes I will assume that this is an command line application that lets you exchange messages.
- A solid grasp of C
- A solid of how networking works
- A solid grasp of clients/servers
- A solid grasp of how to configure and manage servers
That being said, look into the socket library in C if you are serious about it and actually are ready to work on this project. Otherwise shelve it and work on something else.
Additionally, using C is not my first idea for the programming language to build an net chat application. I’d personally use socket.io in Javascript.
An example of what I’d choose to do in Javascript: Private messaging - Part I | Socket.IO
