Tutorials on sockets, threading and multi-threading?

[muzikman]

Greetings,

Does anyone know of any books or online tutorials that talks in depth about the networking aspects of Python: sockets, threading, multi-threading, etc? I am assuming multi-threading tasks is the same as asynchronous/parallel tasks? I have been studying Python for about 4 months and have a solid base foundation of the language but these topics are quite new to me.

Also, based on the following terms, can someone tell me if the words are used interchangeably? Just line them up next to one another.

Sockets
Threading
Multi-Threading
Multi-Processing
Parallel
Asynchronous

Thanks,
Matt
