Hi Nick,
I first taught myself to program with Java, then I taught myself C++. I learned both languages almost solely from a textbook. The internet usually helps where the book leaves off.
I would definitely read through the book you have first. Practice writing out some programs, either from the book or you can try to make simple program. I would also advise getting a notebook to keep some organized notes, you can make reference to later. As you get more proficient with the language, you will have to refer to it much less.
Reading the book while keeping notes and writing simple programs is definitely a start. Personally, I am not familiar with any good websites, but I know there there. I used the internet if a problem came up in my program that the book couldn't help me with. I would just Google my problem. There would usually be a forum or website with the solution.

NETROM(4) Linux Programmer's Manual NETROM(4)
NAME
AF_NETROM - NET/ROM amateur packet radio protocol family
DESCRIPTION
NET/ROM is a protocol used extensively by radio amateurs. The Linux NET/ROM protocol family permits access to these protocols via the stan-
dard networking socket metaphor.
The NET/ROM protocol layer only supports connected mode. IP traffic may be stacked on top of NET/ROM frames using a non-standard extension
to the NET/ROM protocol.
The only mode of operation is connected mode which is the mode used for a socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (stream sockets are not available
in NET/ROM). This requires that the user ensures output data is suitably packetised, and that input data is read a packet at a time into a
buffer of suitable size.
NET/ROM addresses consist of 6 ascii characters and a number called the SSID. These are encoded into a sockaddr_ax25 structure which is
provided to the relevant system calls.
NET/ROM has some unusual properties. Notably in a multi-user system an AX.25 address is often associated with a user, and some users may
not have such an association. a set of ioctl calls are provided to manage an association table.
NET/ROM supports the following socket options for SOL_NETROM. NETROM_T1 is the T1 timer in 1/10ths of a second, NETROM_T2 is the T2 timer
in 1/10ths of a second. NETROM_N2, the retry counter is also configurable. There is no 'infinite retry' option supported however. It is
possible for an application to request that the NET/ROM layer return the NET/ROM header as well as the application data, this is done via
the NETROM_HDRINCL socket option.
