The Art of Doing - Python Network Applications with Sockets - Basic Two-Way Chat Part 1 - Server/Client Setup

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a basic two-way chat application using Python's socket module. It covers setting up server and client files, defining constants for IP, port, encoder, and byte size, and creating server and client sockets. The tutorial also explains how to accept client connections and send confirmation messages. Finally, it tests the setup and outlines future development steps.
