Network programming

Im really new to internet programming.(Like never did it before)

1)Do I use sockets in c++ or is there another language to program.
2)I don't want to only make websites I want to learn how to manipulate the internet, I have seen people do cool stuff with the knowledge.


Basically were do I learn the internet inside out?
I asked this question i few days ago check my thread out when i asked for help there's 35 replies with really useful information and arguing,,,

You sure can. Look up "C++ networking programming <operating system>"

2)I don't want to only make websites I want to learn how to manipulate the internet, I have seen people do cool stuff with the knowledge.

Good news, website development is only a small part of the world of network programming.

Basically were do I learn the internet inside out?

If you know nothing about networks, I suggest picking up a book. This is the book I have on my shelf, I've read it cover-to-cover: http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networking-Top-Down-Approach-Edition/dp/0132856204
Thank you for the quick reply! really helped me get a perspective on were to start!
