Description
Interprocess communication (IPC) is a fundamental concept in programming, allowing separate processes to exchange data and signals efficiently and securely. In the context of C++, IPC mechanisms enable coordination and cooperation among running applications as they share resources and data on various operating systems. Understanding and utilizing IPC can greatly enhance the functionality and performance of applications.### Understanding Processes and the Need for IPCA process is an instance of a computer program that's being executed, which contains the program code and its current activity. In modern operating systems, each process operates in its own virtual address space and does not have permission to access the memory or resources of another process directly. This isolation ensures that processes do not interfere with each other, which enhances the stability and security of software applications. However, there are scenarios where processes need to share data or notify each other about events or changes, which is where IPC comes into play.These concepts are used for most of the implementations in real life server side projects. In this course you will learn about Shared Memory, Pipes and MailSlots. The downloadable resources are available to help you out to see the real code in action.
