Workshop

CNP6 Certified Network Programmer
Time: 05-07/05/2014

This course is an advanced training course for the programmers of ISP and content providers in Vietnam who need deeper understanding of IPv6 network programming and testing. The course covers topics such as socket API, IPv4 vs. IPv6 programming in C/C++ and Visual C#.NET, with focus on the differences in IPv6 programming from traditional network programming and assumes prior knowledge in basic network programming
