Answer 1

There isn't just one "go-to" technology for making real-time / multiplayer gaming applications. You have to understand a multitude of different programming realms like graphics manipulation, threading, networking(TCP,etc). I would say it would be good for you to pick up a book on game development and design at your local library, bookstore or on the web. You also want to decide where and how you want to run the game. If you are going for a desktop application you are probably going to want to use a language like Java or C++/C#. For web applications Java and Flash are historically the way to go, and there is even a growing case for games written primarily in javascript (presumably with a .NET/PHP back-end).

If you want to jump right in you might try a framework like Unity which I believe is based on Microsoft's .NET framework. This tool has a lot of things built into it which would help you get started.

I know that is not a lot of specific information but hopefully it points you in the right direction.
