Well, in the realm of Programming, I'd say oddly enough that the PHP.net manual is a good way to pick it up. Once you've gotten through that whole tutorial, you should know enough to learn any C-based language. And almost any web host these days allows PHP scripting.
In the realm of Economic History, two great starter books are A History Of Money And Banking in the US by Rothbard, and The Autobiography Of Big Bill Haywood. Those will teach someone to think economically about history, from two very different perspectives. From there, they'll find books that will lead them further on.
In the realm of Existential Philosophy, Sartre's Essays In Existentialism is a great starter book. From there, all the rest of the existentialist writing will have a pretty solid context. It was written before existentialism became politicized much.
