Remember the Commodore Pet computers?
The Commodore PET is a little before my time, the C64 was introduced to the world in the same year I was born, and was still for sale by the time I was 9. Can you imagine that kind of longevity for a computer system now?
As for web programmng,
Webmonkey has some excellent articles on authoring and design, all the way from beginning HTML to dynamic HTML with JavaScript. I learned HTML from similar online tutorials, and the view source feature of the web browser. If you are interested in dynamic web pages(as opposed to dynamic HTML), I would reccommend you check out
php, which is avaible on all platforms and directly from a large number of hosting providers. PHP is similar to C/C++, and is quite powerfull, the current incarnation of the WIX runs on PHP.
I kind of left out my programming experience in my first post didn't I. I have in the past been known to program in BASIC, pascal, C, C++, and Java. I worked for a small company called PWS Inc.(now defunct) where I worked on a Point of Sale system written in C for a few years. I now work as a web devloper for Dennis Kirk, using an excellent(but quite expensive) Java ecommerce platform called ATG Dynamo
