Creating and connecting sockets

'So how on earth do I make a socket?'

By far the easiest way to do this is by using the Software Development Kit. This provides all the sockets and message programming you need, and you will never have to worry about how messages work. If you are not using the SDK, then the way of making sockets will depend on the language you are using – but be assured that it is easy! Concrete examples are given later.
