Ever wondered how to concurrently monitor multiple network connections (sockets) without creating multiple threads? This video shows you how with select(), a universally-available call that so many programmers don't know exists. This is a network-oriented video that shows how select works in a socket server example, written in C, but this technique works with any file descriptor, including files and pipes. This is also the first of what I expect to be a series of videos on asynchronous I/O and event-driven systems.

Note: I haven't posted ALL of the code from ALL of my videos yet. The site contains code from my recent tutorials (I wasn't quite as organized in the pre-2019 past). I will add examples from older videos as I dig them up.
