I fancy myself quite a savvy computer user. This game I'm working on is my first programming adventure however. Can someone explain to me in gentle terms what a socket is? I've done a search and run into lots of SSH-speak that assumes I know what it means as well as similarly assuming hardware mentions of CPU pin configurations.

The context of my program, btw, is network. I'm trying to determine if I need asynchronis sockets, blocking sockets, socket wrenches... or any at all :}

Slowly but surely I'm taking over the worl... er, creating my first program.
