Enhance your skills with practical examples for C++ network programming
Overview
- Augment your C++ network programming using Boost.Asio
- Discover how Boost.Asio handles synchronous and asynchronous programming models.
- Practical examples of client/server applications.
- Learn how to deal with threading when writing network applications.
- Harness the power of Boost with plenty of examples that you can build upon.
In Detail
Network programming is not new and its no secret that its not an easy task. Boost.Asio provides an excellent level of abstraction, making sure that with a minimal amount of coding you can create beautiful client/server applications, and have fun in the process!.
Boost.Asio C++ Network Programming shows how to build client/server applications using a library that is part of the popular peer-reviewed Boost C++ Libraries. It analyzes whether you should go synchronous or asynchronous and the role that threading plays, whilst providing examples you can run and extend for yourself.
After covering the fundamentals of Boost.Asio youll discover how you can build synchronous and asynchronous clients and servers. You will also see how you can have your own asynchronous functions play nice with Boost.Asio. As a bonus, we will introduce co-routines, which make asynchronous programming a piece of cake. Nowadays, network programming is a must, no matter what type of programmer you are. Boost.Asio C++ Network Programming shows just how simple networking can be, if youre using the right tools.
What you will learn from this book
- How to easily reference Boost.Asio programming.
- Synchronous versus asynchronous using Boost.Asio.
- How threading affects programming using Boost.Asio.
- Create your own echo client and server.
- More examples of client/server applications, both synchronous and asynchronous.
- Implement your own asynchronous operations.
- Co-routines: asynchronous operations with a synchronous feel.
- Use Boost.Asio for SSL Networking.
- Debug Boost.Asio.
- Use Boost.Asio for more than just networking.
Approach
What you want is an easy level of abstraction, which is just what this book provides in conjunction with Boost.Asio. Switching to Boost.Asio is just a few extra #include directives away, with the help of this practical and engaging guide.
Who this book is written for
This book is great for developers that need to do network programming, who dont want to delve into the complicated issues of a raw networking API. You should be familiar with core Boost concepts, such as smart pointers and shared_from_this, resource classes (noncopyable), functors and boost::bind, boost mutexes, and the boost date/time library. Readers should also be familiar with blocking versus non-blocking operations.

John Torjo is a renown C++ expert. He has been programming for over 15 years, most of which were spent doing C++. Sometimes, he also codes C# or Java.
Hes also enjoyed writing articles about programming in C++ Users Journal (currently, Dr. Dobbs) and other magazines.
In his spare time, he likes playing poker and driving fast cars. One of his freelance projects lets him combine two of his passions, programming and poker. You can reach him at <>.
Id like to thank my friends Alexandru Chis, Aurelian Hale, Bela Tibor Bartha, Cristian Fatu, Horia Uifaleanu, Nicolae Ghimbovschi, and Ovidiu Deac for their feedback and suggestions relating to the book. Id also like to thank the guys at Packt for being understanding, even though I missed a few deadlines now and then. And many thanks to Chris Kohlhoff, the author of Boost.Asio, for writing such a damn good library!
I dedicate the book to my best friend, Darius
Bla Tibor Bartha is a professional software engineer working on various technologies and languages. Although, in the last four years, hes working on iOS and OSX applications, as C++ is his old passion along with game development as personal projects.
I would like to thank John for the possibility to review this book.
Nicolae Ghimbovschi is a talented individual, who has been working on various C/C++ projects for over 5 years. He has been involved mostly in telecommunication projects for enterprises. He is a dedicated Linux hobbyist, who enjoys testing and experimenting different operating systems, scripting tools, and programming languages. Besides programming, he enjoys cycling, yoga, and meditation.
I would like to thank John for letting me to review his book.

Network programming has been around for a very long time, and it's definitely not a task for the faint-hearted. Boost.Asio provides an excellent abstraction over it, making sure that with a minimal amount of coding, you can create beautiful client-server applications and have tons of fun doing it. And it throws some extra non-networking features, just as a bonus! Code that uses Boost.Asio is compact, easy to read, and if you follow what I describe in the book, it is bug-free.
, Getting Started with Boost.Asio will present what Boost.Asio is, how to build it, and a few examples along the way. Boost.Asio is more than a networking library as you're about to find out. You'll also discover the most important class that sits at the heart of Boost.Asio, io_service.
, Boost.Asio Fundamentals will cover what you definitely need to know in order to know when using Boost.Asio. We'll delve deeper into asynchronous programming, which is trickier than synchronous and is much more fun. This chapter was implemented as a reference, which you should come back to, while implementing your own networking applications.
, Echo Server/Clients will implement you to implement a small client-server application; probably, the easiest client-server application you will ever write. This is the Echo application, which is a server that echoes back anything a client writes and then closes the client's connection. We will implement first a synchronous application, and then an asynchronous application, so you can easily compare them.
, Client and Server will discuss delving into building non-trivial client and server applications using Boost.Asio. We will discuss how to avoid pitfalls, such as memory leaks and deadlocks. All the programs are meant to be skeletons you can extend and adapt to your needs.
, Synchronous Versus Asynchronous will walk you through the things to consider when choosing to go synchronous or asynchronous. First off, avoid mixing them. In this chapter, we'll see how easy it can be to implement, test, and debug each type of application.
, Boost.Asio Other Features will walk you through some of the not-so-well-known features of Boost.Asio. std streams and streambufs can be a bit more complicated to use, but as you'll see, they bring their own benefits to the table. Finally, you'll see a rather late entry to Boost.Asio, that is, co-routines, which allow you to have code that is asynchronous, but is much easier to read (as if it was synchronous).
