Thanks,

>>Actually, it was Yahoo that started me looking for a basic book. I decided I wanted to learn "Internet Programming". So I went to Yahoo looking for information and got overwhelmed. There's so many websites that I don't know where to start. I want to know things like "What's the difference between CGI and active server pages?" "What the heck is 'COM'?" "What's XML?" "How do all these different technologies fit together? Do you use them all in one site, or are they different ways of doing the same thing? Are any passee? Do they work with all browsers?"
