1. For a Delphi-like solution you may want to check out the FreePascal
Lazarus project (www.lazarus.freepascal.org) - I think it allows you to
create CGI programs in Pacal and might therefore be a good leadup to
Kylix...
2. If you want to do it in ASP, you may also want to consider InstantASP
(www.instantasp.com) over Chilli!ASP since it is far more cost effective
than Chilli!ASP afaik (runs as a Java servlet).
3. And depending on what you want to do, there is always good old PHP
(www.php.net) - used on a million-plus servers now with heaps of help
everywhere (works really well with MySQL) and runs on Linux and Win32...
(and there is also JSP, but not as popular yet).
