Socket Programming
After this first theoretical overview, let's move on to look at the Mono framework and see how sockets can be used. Although a lot of effort is put into n-tier applications, classical client/server applications are still widely used.
As you know, client/server applications consist of two processes. The server process provides data for the client. The server processes requests and returns the results. In most practical applications, a server is supposed to process requests concurrently.
