hey guys - i need some help with this networking class i'm taking right now. the assignment looks kind of lengthy, but i believe it is pretty basic. I am having a tough time getting started, so I would really appreciate it if one of you guys could help me out and point me in the right direction

Thank you boys!

Here are the specs:

-basically i have to write a multi-threaded program which has a main thread which creates and starts two threads, a SenderThread and a ReceiverThread.
-using sockets, the sender thread periodically sends a message, every 3 seconds via UDP to a port, any one that i choose, on the local host
-the receiver thread monitors the port chosen above, for incoming messages and prints any messages it receives on the screen

this is not the whole assignment, but if i could get some help getting started on this part to get me going in the right direction, i'd really appreciate it. thanks!

Well, a good resource on Sockets is Beej's guide to network programming.

You should pick up on it pretty fast, I have way more issues with that article. �_�;...

Yeah, it's a great resource, but It does make a great deal of sense to me seeing how I don't really read things fully, only skim through them and experiment on my own for a while.
