Nothing specific to sockets here, but you should be able to find that 
easily enough via google.  Check these books out the next time you go 
into a bookstore.  I have the first edition C++ book and it does a good 
job of explaining C++ programming.  I've seen/looked through a 
co-workers java version of their book, and would say the same about it.
You may also be able to view/utilize these books from one of the 'online 
libraries' via a subscription.

If you can't find the socket info you're looking for, email me back.
