Looking for network programming reference/guides ?

[pllaybuoy]

I searched the evilzone already and I don't seem to find any guides on network/sockets programming . I am very confused with this . I have already googled and it looks like there are so many 3rd party libraries that it is really hard for a newbie like me to choose one . I am learning QT these days (though I am not giving it my 100 % because of my final exams) , it has networking support too but I am unsure if QT is the right choice to code keyloggers with .
Can any of you direct me to a good source from where I can take a start in network/sockets programming with C++ ? 'Any' kind of help will be highly appreciated . Note that I am new to networking too and looking for a noob friendly guide or book .
-Regards

Is this a book for beginners ? Because I can't really read an advanced networking book . .

Yes but you need some minor networking knowledge. this book mostly talks about the general ideas behind Network Programming with C++, read the reviews. thats why i gave you the link.

http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ Explains really almost everything you need to know to start with network programming. It's C but you can ofcourse use it in c++
