High-level

I want to write about why GDB is a great tool for learning C. At least part of the difficulty in learning C is that the language isn’t as interactive as using Python or Ruby.

TL;DR You can kinda use gdb as a repl for c

What’s the smallest possible program we could debug to learn about pointers?

i'm doing a bittorrent client in erlang

task: parse a lump of raw binary data from a socket into a list of bittorrent messages

my original implementation worked but was messy; the logic for parsing individual bittorrent messages was tangled with the logic for accumulating them into a list [should show this, ought to be somewhere in github.com/happy4crazy/ebc]

Over the past few months at Hacker School, I've been learning Erlang. Erlang is a fun choice for writing networked applications, and I've decided to try implementing a BitTorrent client as a way to challenge my developing Erlang skills.

BitTorrent peers communicate over TCP sockets using a binary protocol. This means that in order to implement a BitTorrent client, you'll need to write some code to read a lump of binary data off a socket and then parse it into a list of BitTorrent messages.

lsock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
lsock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
lsock.bind(('0.0.0.0', 4567))
lsock.listen(1)

conn, addr = lsock.accept()
