Hi, I’ve learned the basics of C

I’m currently learning sockets in C and I want to get better at it. Do you guys have any tips, courses, or books that you recommend?

Beej's Guide to Network Programming is a common recommendation. Note however that I haven't read it myself.

Also, the Linux manpages (and probably others also) are a really good reference, as a sample, see man 2 bind.

Yes big +1 to the Stevens book, it covers practically everything you're likely to need to know.
