Java supports neither closures or callbacks.  CF supports callbacks,
but not closures.  JavaScript supports closures (and therefore
callbacks).  Groovy, Ruby, ActionScript all support closures as well.
Python supports quasi-closures via 'lambda', but that doesn't count
for your question.

So pick a closure-supporting language that you're familiar with, and
go read some docs.  They'll all have examples, just as anyone's email
reply would.  Since you're a web guy, JavaScript is probably the best
bet.
