Sorry for the open-ended question here, but I really had no idea what exactly to ask for.
Im looking to communicate between two machines, one running windows, one running Linino, over a wi-fi network. What is the general process of writing the server and client code? What language would each need to use and what libraries/ classes would I need to familiarize myself with?
I know I'm basically asking how the internet works, but I sort of need somewhere to start.
(I'm sending mjpgs one way and sending raw bytes the other way)
The programmer's interface to the network is sockets, also called winsock in Windows. Pick your language: Most of them can do this. Sample code in many languages is easy to find. There is a C tutorial online if you search for the "Winsock Programmers FAQ".
