I currently don't know neither on a useable level (well, I'm able to do very easy patches but that's about it). The motivation for choosing C++ over C was the OO paradigm which I very much like and since it is reported to cause serious problems to get accustomed to C++ OO if you come from a C background, I wanted to avoid learning C in first place... > The best network programming reference is "UNIX Network Programming" > by W. Richard Stevens. Got his "TCP/IP illustrated" here. While everyone said it was very good, I found one of the O'Reillies to be better. Bookshop didn't have a single book on socket programming today (well, except for Java but that would hardly solve my Python performance problems ;-).
