Beginer's questions

Dear forum users,

I would be appreciate if you anyone could help me start off with this. I have all lost right now.
I have few questions which are from A to Z. Hope you all will not mind answering them.

I have completed C Programming course but not C++ due to my busy shedule.
I have learned that even Python Programming Language written and build from C.
It suprieseeeeed me!!!

How great then C be...

My Questions :

1) Is it possible to use C to write CGI?
2) Possible write Web scripts fully based on C?
3) Writing CGI onC, can able to send emails, receive pop mails?
4 Writing CGI on C, can be able to access database like 'MySQL'?

Well, I've been working Microsoft Web Development so far but caught
interests with this Open-Source world. Have a curisity about how far can possible
go on just on 'C' or 'C++' before migrating myself into it.

Thanks guys for any single piece of your responds,

- Lost in this Open-Source World as cant find a right path or place
to set myself like how I can always turn to Microsoft office in any case....

:)

Yes, it's possible to do all 4 of those things with C. I've personally done all but #4 myself.

So you have tired yourself before accessing to database with C based programs.
How about CGI with Purely written on C?

If at least, it's possible with a database, I can come up with possiblity for other databases too.

thanks for your repsonse and hope to hear from you soon.

Will any have experience working on ASP, ASP.NET scripting language which is not very difficult to code around migirant to those complicated coding envirnoment?

As I wonder and bit curious to know, is C comparable to ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, Perl?
I've not much experience in Perl.

I've worked on ASP, ASP.Net, PHP & few languages. Of course, C is my first Programming I've learned. But I'm well adopted to the Ms envirnoments . I dislike this because of the restrications within MS prodocts.
