Re: [avr-chat] TCP/IP : practical guide to implementing ? (LONG post...)

[Juergen Harms]

You might consider gaining some insight by doing practical programming 
exercises - for instance a very small client - server application using 
sockets, just obtaining a "hello" message from the server. If you look 
left and right while doing that and read the man-pages, it would provide 
you with solid knowledge about a series of important notions underlying 
IP. And I agree, talking about protocol-stack implementation without 
knowing about how applications use the implemented services is more than 
problematic - and a serious potential employer should be aware of this 
fact (although: will his HR officer?).

In case you have not much programming experience and risk to lose time 
fighting C, rather than writing an exercise program, you might try and 
find examples that you can study - google will certainly help to find 
such examples.

Cheers!
