Features: This book uses network chess environments, industrial control systems, and simulated industrial sites as models to introduce many related concepts in practical applications, such as network hardware, operating systems, TCP/IP protocols, programming tools, and dialogue protocols. It explains the concepts of character encoding ASCII and Unicode, which are closely related to dialogue protocols, as well as the relationship between three programming tools—Delphi 6.0, Visual C#, and Visual Basic 6.0—with network communication programming. It also analyzes their advantages and disadvantages in network communication programming. The book then explains the programming methods of the four network communication models in the transport layer—Ethernet TCP Socket, serial communication, Ethernet UDP, and Borland Indy. To connect network communication programming technology with practical problems, it discusses the differences between protocol and dialogue protocol, introduces the concept of dialogue protocol, and illustrates its various practical applications with examples. Later, it demonstrates the specific use of dialogue protocol with network chess environments and industrial control systems as examples. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing a large number of experimental software and electronic teaching plans. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer-related and automation control-related fields, as well as a reference for professionals engaged in computer and network programming.
