FASt Server - Win32 Socket Library and Tutorial ....

[James Ladd]

The James Ladd Code Project has started the FASt Server development. This is a WIN32 Socket Framework and socket programming tutorial.
Its a work in progress and all comments and feedback are welcome.
Hopefully it will become the site / tool of choice for Assembler developers wanting to make the most of Socket communications.

OK, is there going to be tutorials and sample codes and all the good stuff?

[James Ladd]

Yes there will be sample code and a tutorial and "all that good stuff".
I expect to have the high level design section published today and that will include skeleton code.
I dont want to just post a finished framework as that would not be as helpful in my opinion.
The idea is to progress the full implementation bit by bit (pardon the pun) and detail the steps
along the way. It is my hope that this will also prove useful to others thinking of doing a project
and wondering about the steps and how to progress it.

I will make posts to this forum and this topic when updates are made, however, you can also
check the project diary page for details too.

expect some compiling code there today (wife permitting) ;)

Great stuff James, I am glad this one made the light of day.

I will try and get the link  http://www.jamesladdcode.com/  set up somewhere so its easy to find.

Great! Is there going to be publish for PDF, HTML, and other?

.......bit by bit (pardon the pun) and detail the steps.......

Alright, I'll be most interested. Ummm.....hope it isn't exactly bit by bit.

[James Ladd]

hutch - thanks for helping. Couldnt have started without you.
There will be html stuff to download as well as MASM code.
Updates wont be "bit by bit" more like "part by part", this way I can take suggestions and questions into account along the way.
Thanks for reading the site.

James,

Thats a truly ferocious beast you have wrapped up in a tea cosy in your avatar.  :P

[James Ladd]

hutch -
The beast is called gretel and she is a pug. She is 14 months old.
The "tea-cosy" is actually a top with a hood. Look quite funny.
Of course it was the wife who bought it and insists on gretel wearing it ;)

At some point Ill change the pic for another one of gretel.

Ok, ive added some more code to the site. http://www.jamesladdcode.com

[James Ladd]

All,
I got some interesting emails about this topic and I am hoping to reply very soon.
There should be some new code on the site today or very soon. Life permitting.
That dog wont walk herself :)
I look forward to posting some code soon.

[James Ladd]

All,
I have been very busy at work as a project has slipped its deadline. So I have to spend some
extra hours with the team coding furiously to bring it back on track.
I had hoped to finalize a working release to the web site but this is a little way off now.
Please be patient. Working code is coming very soon.

I'll be watching.  I downloaded this quite a while ago but haven't had a chance to do anything. 

[James Ladd]

The server is progressing nicely and I hope to have working code for download this weekend.
I also expect to revamp the web site to make it a lot simple to get the code.
Thanks for your patience.
