What are good resources for learning about the web back-end?

There seems to be a very large deficit of information out there when it comes to web programming.

Know any good resources? For example, the replie...

Is it possible to send info from a webpage to a server without reloading?

I have found very little on this topic. I'm trying to work out a way to synchronize pages cross-web without having to constantly reload pages to get new information, since the rate at which this would be necessary would cause the page to be outrageously slow.
