TLEN 5490: Network Programming

Description

Exposes students to UNIX/Linux systems and network programming with an emphasis on practical programming problems and experience. Covers the unique challenges of programming distributed systems including resolving synchronization, threads, pipes, sockets, and other constructs for building TCP/IP network servers and clients.

Outline

Socket API TCP Sockets (Internet and Unix domain) UDP (Internet and Unix domain) Client/Server applications design and implementation Signals Concurrent server implementation Synchronous I/O Message Level multiplexing Sockets in a GUI environment Pipes Socketpairs Shared memory and semaphores Performance analysis Real-time processing Threads

Benefits

Acquire thorough knowledge of the UNIX network programming API.
Understand both C and Java.
Understand sockets, shared memory, semaphores and pipes.
Understand concurrent processing approaches.

Objectives

Provide an in-depth focus on Interprocess Communications (IPC) and the software tools and techniques used to develop distributed applications.

Prerequisites

While there is no formal course prerequisite, students must have recent programming experience (C strongly recommended) in a UNIX development environment, including hands-on editing, compiling, and debugging.

Education Officer (EO)

Required

If an education officer (EO) is indicated as “required” above, you will need an EO to proctor exams for the course. An EO cannot be a student's relative, friend, coworker, or someone who works for the student. The EO address must be a business address. Provide, change, or update your EO information by completing the EO Information Update form. To ensure we have the most updated EO information, you must provide the EO information every semester – even if it is the same EO.

For those able to come to campus, CAETE provides free proctoring services. Contact us at 303-492-6331 or caete@colorado.edu to schedule an exam appointment.

If you have any questions regarding who qualifies to be an EO, see EO information or contact CAETE.

Hardware & Software

Web and e-mail access required. In addition, all CATECS students must compile and execute the programs in a UNIX operating environment. Programs compiled and executed in either a Microsoft Windows or Macintosh environment will not be accepted.
