This is not precisely a programming question, so I don't know whether it fits on Pro Webmaster, and if not, on which other StackExchange to ask.

I wondered if there's a good book on teaching how to make the transition from writing dedicated applications in eg. C++/Delphi/VBClassic to web applications in PHP, etc.?

For instance, the book would start with the fact that the web paradigm is based on client-server, HTTP is a stateless protocol, the only language available to run code on the client is JavaScript, etc.

Thank you.

Definitely a good fit for Stack Overflow. – David Zaslavsky Jul 24 '10 at 22:52
... where they'll probably also close it by telling me that they only accept questions that can be answered, not discussed ;-) – user702 Jul 27 '10 at 13:29

As someone who's done this, it's almost akin to taking an apple and turning it into an orange and it's definately outside the scope of webmastering. I'd strongly suggest Stack Overflow.
