Perhaps people who teach these things could give best recommendations 
(and those may not be reading this list).

It would be useful to learn the basics of sockets. The wikipedia might 
work if you wanted something short: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets.

And then you could read the online R help for the R-level socket 
functions used in the demo program. For the parallel package (e.g. PSOCK 
clusters), you might also read the vignette of that package. And to look 
for usage patterns of the R socket API, one could look into the sources 
of the parallel package (the part implemented in R).
