The best (and free!) resource is the World Wide Web Frequently Asked Questions
maintained by Thomas Boutell. It's constantly updated, therefore more current than any
book in printed form. Thomas is an accomplished web programmer and his selection of
materials in the FAQ is excellent. It is available in many languages, including English,
German, Chinese, Italian, Polish, etc.. Highly recommended.
If you still have questions after reading Thomas' FAQ, you may wish to post your
questions in USENET newsgroups such as the following:
- comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
- comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html
- comp.infosystems.www.authoring.images

- comp.infosystems.www.servers.mac
- comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc
- comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows

Look at the newsgroup's name carefully before you post. Generally some kind and
knowledgeable people will answer your questions in a couple days or so, free too!
We also would like to recommend Entering
the World-Wide Web: A Guide to Cyberspace by Kevin Hughes of the
Enterprise Integration Technologies. Mr. Hughes is another highly accomplished Web
software engineer.
Last but not the least, we strongly recommend you to browse the WWW Security FAQ
compiled by the well respected Dr. Stein, Director of Informatics at the Whitehead
Institute/ MIT Center for Genome Research, one of the world's most respected biomedical
