What programming knowledge is required for working and experimenting with TCP/IP?

Question

I'm new to programming and know some C and C++. I know that a lot of internet communication is enabled by the TCP/IP protocol. But what bugs me is that I do not understand how TCP/IP is connected to programming :/

I would appreciate it, if someone made it clearer for me :)

Thanks in advance. Sorry if my assumptions are not technically correct.

Answer 1

Every language has a library dedicaded to tcp/ip that make life easier :-) choose one depending on protocol you are using, they are not much difficult to learn, i would start with winsock2, and play with it if you are running on windows
