Anyone know of good resources to learn how multiplayer online games are made? I would like to learn how devs deal with scaling, lag, states, synchronization, etc..

I work in a different line of development but I've always wondered what is going on in huge online multiplayer games like GTA-V or COD.

Big book being written right now with beta chapters available:

Also this site has a nice collection of very widely known blog posts on networking for gamedevs:

Looks like great material, thanks.
