title: Socket API or library for C++?
body: <p>I recently have been getting more into C++. I have done some (very minimal) socket programming with C, but have been interested in doing some work with C++. I have only been able to find reference/tutorials on C based socket implementations. Is there a reason for this? I know, or believe I know that you can use the C socket libraries for C++, but am not sure.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a C++ socket library that is used more often then others? This isn't a subjective question, I am actually looking to find out what the Socket API's/libraries are for C++. </p>
  
  <p>I am fairly new at socket programming and C++, so please no answers that will throw me for a loop.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
