title: Sending basic information over network
body: <p>I'm currently working on a game of sorts in which it is necessary for two Clients to communicate with a Server program (I'm writing both Client and Server).  The clients need to be able to send the Server basic integers while the Server needs to send both Strings and more advanced objects.</p>
  
  <p>How should I go about doing this?  My programming knowledge is unfortunately not exactly wide.  I tried using Sockets at first but became slightly confused with them - particularly with how to exactly send or read information from them and fit that into a program.</p>
