udp socket programming example

to try out the example, first install go

for this project, you probably don't need to set up your GOPATH, but if you want to do other go programming, its a good idea. There is a good section on workspace setup here

The example

To run the example, build both programs:

go build listen.go
go build client.go

Now, run the listen program in one terminal, and then the client in another. They should connect to eachother and send a message like so:

On the listeners side:

whyrusleeping@idril ~/c/t/udpsample> ./listen 
got message of size 39 bytes from 127.0.0.1:58417
got a message!
seq: 17, mes: Hello World

And from the clients perspective:

whyrusleeping@idril ~/c/t/udpsample> ./client 
wrote 39 bytes!
