Stardust to Host 2-Day Course Entitled "Advanced Network Application Programming with WinSock 2" on Dec. 13 and 14, 1995.CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 1995--Stardust WinSock Labs, an independent testing, training, and consulting resource center for WinSock developers, today announced it will host a comprehensive two-day training seminar for Windows software developers that will cover advanced WinSock 2 programming issues and strategies. Entitled "Advanced Network Application Programming with WinSock 2," the class will convene at the Stardust offices in Campbell, Calif. on Wednesday, December 13 at 9:00 a.m. "The original WinSock 1.1 API specification, which made it simple for Windows programmers to TCP/IP-enable their Microsoft Windows applications, is largely responsible for the meteoric growth of the Internet's World Wide Web," said Karen Milne, president and co-founder of the Stardust WinSock Labs. "The new WinSock 2 specification contains potentially fifty times more functionality than WinSock 1.1 and is therefore much more complex to implement. This course will prepare software developers to realize the full potential of WinSock 2." The course will be lead by Martin Hall of the Stardust WinSock Labs. Hall is Stardust's co-founder and chief technology officer, and the originator of the WinSock API. As recognized authorities on WinSock, engineers at the Stardust WinSock Labs provide consulting and WinSock interoperability testing services to the world's leading Internet software vendors. Sponsors and members of the Labs include WRQ (WRQ, Inc., Seattle, WA, www.wrq.com) A software company that specialized in terminal emulation and NT-Unix integration products. Founded in 1981 as Walker Richer and Quinn, Inc., a consulting firm in minicomputer and mainframe applications, it introduced an HP terminal emulator for the , FTP Software, NETCOM NETCOM Network Enterprise Technology Command (US Army) NetCom Network Command (information systems) On-line Communication Services, Novell, SunSoft, Powersoft, SurfWatch, System Software Technologies, MillenNet, Persoft, CompuServe, Virgin Interactive, Frontier Technologies, Mercury Interactive, NetManage, and TGV TGV: see railroad. . Class Prerequisites and Tuition Recommended class prerequisites include a basic knowledge of Windows programming, or prior experience with WinSock 1.1 programming or BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) The software distribution facility of the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California at Berkeley. 4.3. Class tuition is $990 per attendee. Group discounts of 15% are available to companies who enroll three or more students. The class is free for the first attendee from sponsors and members of the Stardust WinSock Labs. Class Outline WinSock 2 Overview Architecture: Applications; WinSock 2 DLL (1) See data link layer. (2) (Dynamic Link Library) An executable program module in Windows that performs one or more functions at runtime. DLLs are not launched by the user; they are called for by an executable program or by other DLLs. ; Service Providers WinSock 1.1 Compatibility DLL's Static and Dynamic Linking Layered Service Providers and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. Security Enumerating Protocols, Names and Services Protocol Discovery and Selection Protocol-Independent Name Resolution Socket Manipulation Socket Groups Shared Sockets New Socket Options and Ioctl's Connections Setup and Teardown tear·down n. 1. The act or process of taking apart or demolishing. 2. also tear-down A building that is to be torn down and replaced with another, often larger building. Conditional Acceptance Connect Time I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output Advanced I/O Features Enhancing Application Throughput Event Objects Overlapped I/O with Scatter/Gather Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. Notification via Event Objects Protocol-Independent Multipoint and Multicast Quality of Service Miscellaneous Extended Byte Order Conversion Utilities Protocol-Specific Programming Moving from WinSock 1.1 to WinSock 2 Things to consider What you need Recommended Strategy Founded in 1995, the Stardust WinSock Labs provide comprehensive support and services to developers and implementors of the Windows Sockets API. The company was co-founded by Martin Hall, the originator of the Windows Sockets standard. Hall is the founding and present chairman of the WinSock Group, the loosely structured industry coalition that in 1993 created the WinSock 1.1 specification.
