I have a pre-existing cocoa application that that receives serial data and stores those separate values in a dictionary as key/value pairs. I need to take that stored serial data, and package it as something the client (not a cocoa app, c++) can grab out over a closed network. Ive read up up using sockets, and have been told that is the best way to do this. I am a beginner at programming and have no idea where to start. any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

Are you talking about serial data, like a serial to usb adapter connected to your machine or are you talking about networking like tcp/ip server?
Yes, if you are implementing a LAN or other similar non-wired scenario BSD sockets are the way to go, especially if the client is C++.
