Need advice on what to learn in order to develop a multiplayer web-based game.

Socket.io

Considering it's a text game there is not much you really have to learn except for websockets. Now there are some differences here and there but socket.io will definitely be good enough. It has features for putting users in a specific room, that way you can scope who receives the packets!
