I have been using orion server since it was beta 0.52, and trust me, the benchmarks are real, if not a bit conservative. Most of the benchmarks he has gotten over the years are from users that hae tested and then compared to his own. When working for ELN(the isp) we did a ton of benchmarks between orion using servlet/JSP and half a dozen other servers including AOL server + TCL, Apache + CGI/Perl/JSP/Servlet through Jrun, IIS with ASP and orion with Jsp/Servlet. Orion consistently beat them hands down, and it is *cheap* for what you get. Ok, so that must sound like a sales pitch but it's very true.
QuakeC is the best route as to how not to learn programming correctly... Also it's sure not an easy way to learn especially if you are new to programming.
A few months back I saw that interplay (www.interplay.com) was working on a "C for dummies" sorta program that teaches you the basics as well as associates it with basic game programming. I don't see mention of it on their site currently but it's probably there somewhere.
Another good resource... go to a community college and take an intro programming class... good choices would be C, C++ or java. Java probably being the best if you want to learn the concepts of Object Oriented programming.
