Hi... i'm trying to figure out how to make a simple server side web application. I was wondering if someone know a good site that can help me figure out what i need to do or learn to do.

Basically i thought of something clever i wanted to incorporate into a myspace friends/add function. Basically redirect them to another page instead of the norm "click to add" function. Then make them check off a couple items, then IF all the check boxes were "true" then after hitting submit, it performed the normal add function.

If you're going to say some troll statement about how you don't like myspace... please don't bother. I'm not asking for critique on what i'm doing, i just want to learn how to something.

I've read the oriely HTML/CSS book, have a good understanding of webhosting and some apache but i've never done any web programs/applications.

If there is a good book out there that can help with these on a begineer level let me know, i really haven't found anything. The Java books are a little well... dry to read without actucally being around ac omputer to do the examples.

Something like this: (adding a text field -> output to a text file (csv) would be cool.) Sites with free basic customizable code would be good too. I saw the links in the user info on the community but got a little overwhemled on what i needed.


input 1(check box)
input 2(check box)
input 3(check box)

Submit

app decides whether all are true (and's all inputs).

If false gives some error page
if true, links just the add link for my page (just redirects to some page is easy enough)
