I am now struggling with network communication part of my first client/server solo-project. I have to keep searching the internet to figure out how to write correct code, because I haven't do multithreading project before.

Could you recommend some small well-written c/c++ network related projects that I could start with?

In short, contribution to open-source project is the best way to learn.

I myself started to contribute to wxWidgets for similar reasons. They have a dedicated page of how to contribute patches and if you look at the Trac page you can easily find a simple bug to fix to get you starting. If you still don't know what to fix, then simply ask on the developer mailing list.

As a specific c++ network library you may look at the following source forge project.

OP is not looking for libraries that can be utilized for network programming, but rather complete, well-written projects that do networking. – fish Oct 10 '12 at 11:30
@fish, my first statement is about open-source c++ project that has network module in it. the second statement is just additions info. – ElYusubov Oct 10 '12 at 11:33
That still doesn't answer the question, OP is already seeking open source projects to learn from them, so he already got that idea. He's looking for specific projects. – fish Oct 10 '12 at 12:24

This is also not an application, but a high level web application framework geared to writing web applications in C++. CppCMS

@fish - I don't see the difference between the two. – Ramhound Oct 10 '12 at 11:41

That's unfortunate, but I don't think I can explain better. Maybe an example will help. Take for instance a multiplayer game. It does networking, utilizing whatever library it chooses to use. It's good for OP because he wants to look at its source code to learn from it. The libraries this answer lists are not useful for OP because he is looking for projects that use such libraries, not the libraries themselves. – fish Oct 10 '12 at 12:22
