Backbone tries to provide the barest useful essentials -- the main business of building your app is up to you. I personally prefer minimal frameworks because they don't assume what…

The Linux Programming Interface by Kerrisk has pretty thorough coverage of sockets (and everything else). http://www.amazon.com/The-Linux-Programming-Interface-Handbo...
