Android app + web service

I'm new in Mobile dev. Going to use C#. I'm going to write small android(maybe iOs in the future) app. And I can't figure out what I need to use as web server. I want mobile client to send requests to server and get result from it. Best idea I have - use WCF web service and json.

P.S. Link for some tutorial will be great.

There are tonnes of tutorials out there on this topic.

I would use socket connections

For C# you can create a TCP Listener using sockets using System.Net.Sockets; https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/bb397809(v=vs.90).aspx

and like wise for the android TCP sockets would be an easy implementation. http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/socket-core/android-socket-example/

As for Android and connectivity. the Android developer platform is always a good start. developer.android.com/training/building-connectivity.html

Or you could create a Rest interface in c# codeproject.com/Articles/112470/Developing-a-REST-Web-Service-using-C-A-walkthroug

and make a http call in android. depends on your intended application to what will be better for you
