If you're learning Python, and know other programming languages, I have this online ebook [1] that I use with my students so that they learn Python fast enough so that I can teach them about socket programming.

Basically, in each chapter I give a small detailed introduction to the topic and then students do some exercises to solidify things.

Can you recommend a resource for learning socket programming?

I don't have any significant recommendations. With my students I usually build three applications with sockets: a chat server/client, an HTTP webserver and an HTTP webserver serving JSON. Here's an example of an HTTP server using sockets [1], maybe you can follow and understand a little bit more about sockets.
