For a simple proof-of-concept / demonstration system, why don't you just
grab a copy of the "netcat" utility and use that ? This will let you set
up a simple TCP server or client.

http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

For a programming introduction to socket programming, check out
http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/output/html/singlepage/bgnet.html
(just skimmed it after doing a Google search for "unix socket
 programming", but it seems sensible).
