You are very welcome Rob, I'm always glad to help when I can. As for learning Web Application Development, this is not an easy question to answer because Web Development cannot be accomplished by any single technology.
R:Tango (Witango) is just one piece of the puzzle - an important piece of course, by providing powerful business logic for the web-server. You should have a good understanding of the Client-Server relationship for dynamic web-apps, in that Witango is designed for processing functions on the Server only and for delivering output to browsers (typically Text such as HTML or even XML but can also stream binary data as well.). Once the browser receives your output, all user interaction is now dependant on HTML, JavaScript, Embedded Objects, etc,,, and Witango can't help you until you make another Request back to the Server by way of a Hyperlink or Form Post - then Witango kicks into action again by performing functions such as database calls and delivering more output, all based on your Request parameters (arguments). So to summarize, some technologies learn (respectfully notwithstanding R:Base of course :-): --------- Server-side: --------- Required - R:Tango (Witango). Eventually - SQL Eventually - HTTP Eventually - XML and DOM Eventually - countless other technologies.... --------- Client-side: --------- Required - HTML Eventually - JavaScript Eventually - CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Eventually - Graphics for GIF and JPG Eventually - XML and DOM Eventually - countless other technologies.... The closest I can recommend for most of the above is http://www.w3schools.com/ . But of course it doesn't include anything about Witango or R:Tango. Resources for Witango (other than your R:Tango documentation) are kind of slim at the moment, but you might want to subscribe to the Witango-Talk mailing list at: http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf (the List is very active with a great community like R:Base has). <@SHAMELESSPLUG> Plus you could check out: http://witango.org And my other site of course: http://xml-extra.net (Warning: heavily tainted towards MSIE specific Client-side technologies and Server and Client-side XML processes). I have lots of code you can download for free as well as run on-line. </@SHAMELESSPLUG> Hope this helps. Cheers...
