Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets

We've seen how the wxSocket class provides wxWidgets integration and numerous enhancements to the underlying C sockets layer. To make socket programming even easier, wxWidgets also gives you socket stream classes that can stream data through a variety of classes. As long as you carefully consider the socket flags discussion, you will get consistent and reliable socket operations across Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X when using wxSocket and its related classes.

Next, we'll look at how your application design and implementation can be simplified by using the wxWidgets document/view framework.
