Perhaps the best way to get started is to start by using the most easily
understood but very powerful Java Enterprise APIs (Servlets and JSP). JSP
is a great alternative to IIS/ASP for many reasons including speed.
Orion is a great choice for this because it is pretty easy to get going as
you don't need to install other modules like you would need to with Apache.
As your knowledge progesses you can then dive into the EJB realm.

this list. I don't have much of a high-level understanding of this "stuff"
which does nothing but increase my learning curve. I'm not looking for a
handout, but some leadership.
