This book describes how C++ and middleware help address key challenges
associated with developing networked applications. We review the core native
OS mechanisms available on popular OS platforms and illustrate how
C++ and patterns are applied in ACE to encapsulate these mechanisms
in class library wrapper facades that improve application portability and
robustness. The book s primary application example is a networked logging service that transfers log records from client applications to a logging
server over TCP/IP.
