After watching the facebook demonstration executed by Erik, I realised that I needed to do research into web server programming. The language he used to make the facebook app is Php, a recursive acrynoym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. From my understanding, it is a scripting language that creates server side commands to make an html page.
When reading a tutorial on PHP, the article directed me to another tutorial on Web Hosting and MYSQL.
Web Hosting tutorial goes over the basics of the types of web hosting servers and their possible uses. It talks about buying a domain name, bandwidth issues, backup, and other essentials.
The tutorials for PHP and MySQL were much longer. I skimmed through them, but I didn't get a chance to try out any of the samples codes because I don't have my own web server...
