Hi everyone-  I have BDS 2006.  I love the product, the documentation
is terrible.  I've been programming C++ for a long time, but never for
web apps.  I'd like to create two applications-

application 1) a web server that can query a database (allow users to
log in, etc.) This app should sit on a box and respond to http
requests, querying databases either on this box or somewhere else.

application 2) a server that can respond to some http request from a
hosted web site.  for example, let's say i set up a web site on yahoo,
i want that site to query my server to get some data specific to a
particular user.

i suspect these are the same types of application.  anyway, my question
is, i don't have any idea where to begin, because as i said, the
documentation is terrible.  Can someone point me in the right direction
? Either documents, examples, components, etc.

Thanks a lot,
Dino
