Socket programming courses can help you learn network communication, data transmission protocols, and client-server architecture. You can build skills in handling sockets, managing connections, and implementing error handling techniques. Many courses introduce tools like Python's socket library, Java's Socket API, and C's Berkeley sockets, demonstrating how these tools facilitate the development of networked applications and services.
