yeah, but i am so fluent in c... i understand that the new kids have moved on to c sharp, but i just dont know it as well.

and last time i tried to download a microsoft ide, it was such a bloat nightmare that i dont think i want to do that again..

is it me or is the "dot net" thing a bloat nightmare? i am not even sure what it does..

Ok then this is fine for writing a socket server. You will actually get a great idea of how this works behind the scenes, because C forces you to do everything manually. My first socket server was in Python, which gets interpreted to C, but the interface hid a lot of the complexities.

I am not a huge fan of the dot net environment, but C# in general is pretty easy to get used to if you know C already.
