Also, can you suggest some good cgi ebooks?
For cgi as in "common gateway interface", I learned several ways:
1) CGI Programming in C and Perl by Boutell
2) Using the cgic programming library (a C library).
I saw a website cgi101.com that looked reasonable. I don't use perl. The website is all perl-oriented.
The cgi101.com website says "CGI programming is easy to learn". I disagree. I consider CGI programming to be complex and difficult. If it proves too much, then maybe learn something else until you are more ready.
Not really needed. Just create your own files from scratch. emacs (or vi) will edit any text file. You can make a copy of some file on your system and edit. Back to the "dos and donts" to avoid damage, editing a copy of the text file might be a good idea.
Getting Emacs - GNU Emacs FAQ For MS Windows seems like a good place to download, under 2.1 section.
