It's great that there are so many new people learning about Tor these
days. But on the other hand, Tor (like security in general) is still
one of those things that takes some effort to learn about -- you have
to learn about a lot of other things while you're doing it.

I'd start with
https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation#UpToSpeed

and whenever you get stuck, ask Google, which will often send you to
Wikipedia for more details.

If you google for 'socks proxy', you'll find lots to read. See also

Happy learning! :)
