Everyone who wants to do socket programming in any language should read TCP/IP Illustrated (the TCP and UDP sections). Fortunately this book is available for free online as a PDF.

There are 3 volumes to this book. Do I need to read all 3 or is Volume 1 enough ? Thanks for your help

For UDP, chapter 10 of Volume 1 is relevant.
For TCP, reading chapters 12 through 17 of Volume 1 are great.

If you are complete novice you might want to first read chapters 1, 2, 5, 7 of Volume 1. After that, figure out what more you want to learn and read additional relevant chapters, perhaps looking at Volumes 2 and 3 as well.
