	If you want to do web apps/CGI, I suggest PHP. It reads well, it's easy to
learn, OS- and webserver-portable, and has plenty of resources online.

	If you already know programming and like a "How do I... ?" kind of book, I
recommend "PHP Developer's Cookbook" to get started quickly.

	As far as online stuff there's www.php.net, and you can download a
Microsoft Help file from it, all hyperlinked, with the PHP documentation.

	You can probably search for goodies instead of writing them.
www.freshmeat.net, for example.

	For instance, for sharing digital pictures, you may want to use Gallery
(http://gallery.sourceforge.net/). For portal stuff, PHP Nuke
(http://www.phpnuke.org), and so on.

	You may need to install MySQL for some apps. Some apps may not support
windows, just UNIX.
