Developing a TCP Client That Uses net.DialTCP()

Explore how to develop a TCP client in Go by using net.DialTCP and net.ResolveTCPAddr functions. Understand address resolution for TCP endpoints, network I/O with bufio, and managing client-server interaction through a loop that sends and receives messages. Gain practical knowledge to implement TCP clients that connect to servers and handle communication effectively.

We'll cover the following...

This lesson presents an alternative way to develop a TCP client. The difference lies in the Go functions that are being used for establishing the TCP connection, which are net.DialTCP() and net.ResolveTCPAddr(), and not in the functionality of the client.

Coding example

The code of otherTCPclient.go is as follows:

Go (1.19.0)
package main
import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"net"
	"os"
	"strings"
)

Although we are working with TCP/IP connections, we need ...
