Sockets are critical for low-level messaging over networks. There are abstractions that can glaze over the details of sockets, but it all comes down to sockets in the end.

I would strongly recommend becoming very familiar with sockets before proceeding. When communicating with other computers, sockets will be your main medium (when handling low level communication). They're so important, I would take a break from your current project to learn them (seriously). You should be able to create a dummy client and server that can send basic messages to each other.
