I think that this wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket) is a good start to learn how to use the API, and it shows the difference between UDP and TCP handling, from both the server and client sides.

Remember that with UDP you may loose packets, as you have no flow control or acknowledge mechanism.
