Yep, but web programming is completely different. Here you have a
client/server relationship. Each web page is effectively its own
program. Anything which needs to go to the next page must be passed in
the GET/POST or the session, for instance.
It's similar to CICS transactional programs, but nothing at all like
classic programming.
