[ale] starting point recommendations

[Bob Toxen]

1. Grab the source to a application that uses networking the way
   you want to and study the code.  (Of course, if your code will
   not be Open Source you cannot copy the existing code.)

2. I like:
        
	"Linxu Application Development"
	by Johnson and Troan

	Especially check out Chapter 16 "Networking with Sockets".
