    i know you said u wanted an alternative to java and mulithreaded socket programming but you could always get this book. It's pretty good, I use it in college and teaches you socket programming and multhreading basics at least anyways. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321227352/sr=1-4/qid=1145644372/ref=sr_1_4/104-8815974-8486329?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=books

    sockets are the only easy way to connect different computers to each other off the net.

    Multithreading is the only easy way to keep the server working as it both process multiple simultaenous games AND accepts new connections/dropping old connections AND does god knows what else that may be involved.

    You'll have to bite the bullet and learn the basics at least.
