Python Server: intro

Writing A python client-server application bigginer's guide:

Introduction:

I'm writing this guide because it is something I need. Know, reader, that as I write this I am learning to do it my self. My intent on this is 1. that I might learn it better having need to explain what is going on and 2. might come across any issues you mihgt have as I go as I don't know what I'm doing yet either.

My intended audience for this is some one who is looking to understand how client-server software is programed to create something of their own. I expect that you know how to program in python. I am only intending this to be an introduction to the concepts, as such, I'm not going to be using any frame works through out this guide. There are a lot of frame works out there, and at the end I might point to some for futher reading. Because I am not using any frame works, only what comes built in to python, examples should work cross platform. know, however, that I am programing on Ubuntu Linux. The examples will therefore work in Unix and most Unix like systems, but no garuntee about the horrible mire of windows. (if you are trying to program a server for windows in python anyway, I pitty you, deeply)

Lastly, almost all of the information I post here will not be original. I'm going to just simply be referencing other materials, all of which will be freely avaliable online and I will link all of them at the end of each chapter. Reason being is again that I'm just learning this my self. what I use to figure out how the system works will probably also be helpful for you. and if your intent in reading this is not as focused on server-client systems as maybe what ever else you are interested in doing, the additional resources will probably help fill in the information i leave out.
