   Good Networking Tutorial?
  Does anyone have a good networking tutorial I can use that starts off with the basics of networking with C++ for multi player online games?   
  Do you care which underlying API is used?I personally like RakNet, which has lots of training materials.   ;  The boost::asio site has some good tutorials, too.;  If you want to learn sockets I learned Mostly from Beej's guide which is geared toward linux users...http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/but as I am a windows user I used these to fill in the gapshttp://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1059.asphttp://www.tenouk.com/Winsock/Winsock2example.html   ;  beej's  tutorial is geared towards the bsd sockets which is on posix based systems so most bsd and linux systems, and winsocks is also based upon bsd sockets with very few windows quirks, all of my network code runs on windows,linux and mac osx with literally 8 lines difference between the windows code and the rest   ;  For Win32 socket programming try;Win32 DeveloperPlenty of different Winsock tutorials there.
