Korshub's take
A free, focused introduction to Python networking
Once you know Python's basics, learning its modules and libraries is the natural next step. This free course zeroes in on one of them: the socket module, used for networking.
What's covered
- IP addresses and port addresses
- TCP and UDP communication
- Creating IPv4 TCP/UDP sockets for both server and client roles
- Sending encoded information back and forth between machines over a network
A preview of what's next
The course also previews the threading module, showing how a simple client-server communication stream could be expanded to host an unlimited number of clients at once, the foundation of something like a chat room. As a free course, it doesn't walk through building that full project, but it sets up the concepts so you can build it yourself.
It suits Python learners who already know the basics and want a first, practical look at networking.
About this course
Python is a fantastic programming language. After learning the basics, moving onto the various modules and libraries is the next logical step. So much functionality can be brought into your program by knowing when and how to use the correct python extension.
In this FREE introductory course learn the basics of networking with python- IP addresses, port addresses, TCP and UDP communication, and more! Learn how to use the socket module to create IPV4, TCP/UDP sockets to run as on the server side and client side and most importantly, send encoded information back and forth from one machine to another over a network!
We will also preview how to use the threading module so you can take your simple communication stream between an individual client and server and open it up such that your server could host an unlimited number of clients all communicating at once; your own chat room!
Due to the time limit restrictions on free courses I will not walk you through this project, but I promise you...the foundation will be set for you to go and write this program all on your own! Get ready to learn the fundamentals and take your python programs to the next level; communicating over the internet!
I can't wait to have you as a student.
