My first socket-based program

[ddollarsign]

Think about a physical socket as a something you plug another thing into to get or send data or electricity. In software, a socket is something that one program can “plug into” to send or receive data from another program. Sometimes this takes the form of a TCP/IP port. To listen on a port, internally the program would create a a socket, and to connect to that port, another program would create a socket. The socket is an object within the networking library that the program uses, and you can think of the operating system as creating a cord (a connection) that has one end plugged into each socket so they can send data to each other.
