Simplest possible C++ networking tutorial?

There are lots of nice tutorials for beginners on YouTube for C++, but I couldn't find any "professional" tutorials about simple networking using C++.

I'm an intermediate C++ user. I know the basics, but nothing at all about networking! Could anyone link me to a simple-as-possible beginner's tutorial on a small C++ program that uses networking somehow? Such as a user connecting to me, and we could each enter a value which prints to both of our screens.

I very much appreciate any wisdom!

You need a library for it, this is a good one: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html
Try learning Winsock, it's not easy but so what:
