Experience in teaching communication software using Berkeley Unix
Hussein M. Abdel-Wahab · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1988
At many universities and institutions throughout the world it is now very common to have a network of computers, each running the Berkeley 4.3BSD version of UNIX or an equivalent version such as ULTRIX . This paper is to help students using these versions of UNIX to explore and experiment with the interprocess communications and networking facilities. We present examples of client/server programs that can be used as a model for writing distributed applications. We describe how students can test and experiment with these programs. Students are assumed to be familiar with the C programming language and some version of UNIX .
