The tutorial programs in this first section introduce the fundamental concepts
required to use the asio toolkit. Before plunging into the complex world of
network programming, these tutorial programs illustrate the basic skills using
simple asynchronous timers.

The tutorial programs in this section show how to use asio to develop simple
client and server programs. These tutorial programs are based around the <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc867.txt" target="_top">daytime</a> protocol, which supports
both TCP and UDP.
</p>
<p>
The first three tutorial programs implement the daytime protocol using TCP.

<p>
The next three tutorial programs implement the daytime protocol using UDP.

<li>
<a class="link" href="tutorial/tutdaytime4.html" title="Daytime.4 - A synchronous UDP daytime client">Daytime.4 - A synchronous UDP

</ul></div>
<p>
The last tutorial program in this section demonstrates how asio allows the
TCP and UDP servers to be easily combined into a single program.
