Don't start signing up to various web services without understanding the basics of network programming. You can do everything locally first, the programming language doesn't matter. For example, you can run a Quake or Half-Life server on your machine and run multiple copies of quake/hl to connect to your local server. I would recommend starting with a simple echo server first. Write and run a server which accepts multiple client socket connections. It is important to understand state. What is it? Where is it? A server maintains state, and clients request updates to the state while also trying to update the server state.

See: I don’t have a university education. But I do have a battered collection of programming books, one of which is K&R C.
