Depends on what you are trying to make. Normally, everything that you write to stdout goes over the network (=> echo should do the trick). If you want to make something simple (no/less state information etc), probably script/inetd would serve your purpose. In fact, you even use other scripting languages like perl. If you want to go to the next level and understand how socket programming really works (about the syscalls()), socket programming in C would give you that exposure.
