Answer 1

VC++ has extensive support if you want to try on Windows.

Google "Windows sockets for beginners msdn", great info for windows sockets...

If linux, try C sockets by beej... Just google beej's guide for sockets...

Answer 2

You could try Boost.Asio library. It contains an example with SOCKS4 protocol implementation.
