Here ya go Scoots. (hehe)
Since you brought kids into it and I'm managing a 18month and a 2month
old...
These are basically off the top of my head and might not be perfect. I
didn't read to far into the links I posted too but it's a start anyway.

Asynchronous Javascript and XML.
In short it's different because it allows multiple, non-linear,
client-server interactions without requiring a full page load for each
request. This allows a streamlined more interactive 'desktop feel' for
web-based applications.

The biggest change is ActionScript 3.0 which makes AS3 a full fledged object
oriented programming language.

Now that AS3 is OO, game development is much easier to manage throughout a
development team.

It's probably more intuitive to discuss Flex 3. Flex 3 combines the web 2.0
concepts with the visual power of AS3 allowing fast webservice integration
with visual niceties like streaming video, animation and transitioning. In
addition Flex 3 enables developers to use already known development markup
(XHTML) within Flex components lowering the overall learning curve.

.    21 Web Servers ( IIS and Apache)

>
> What role do both iis and apache play in browsing a web page?
>

At a basic level when someone requests a web page from your server IIS or
Apache is the program that listens for the requests and compiles the html
(either static or dynamic such as CF, PHP, ASP etc.) on the server side then
sends it to the requesting browser.

IIS is a Microsoft product designed for use on a Windows server whereas
Apache is designed for use on the Unix/Linux platform. However Apache is
also available on Windows and OSX machines.

.    23 PHP

>
> What makes PHP so popular?

PHP is a powerful, free, open source dynamic web development language.
Because it's free it's a natural choice for starting web devs to use to get
started. Also, because it's open source, there are many prebuilt packages
available for free. Because PHP is designed to run in the Linux/Unix
environment and work with mySQL/Postgres the cost of hosting is also much
lower than it's competitors.

I'm not answering this one since other than what I've heard I've never had
experience with Ruby or Ruby on Rails.

> What is one advantage of using .net?

The ability to create and consume webservices in a fairly easy fashion. This
allows a website to make use of data from another 3rd party website in a
structured format. As well, thanks to the 'Common Language Runtime' .net
simplifies development and interactivity with other languages.

Web services is a standard, structured way of integrating server to server
communication for web applications. Web services use SOAP (simple object
access protocol) for structure communication of requests and response.
Responses are generally returned as well formed XML. Web services allow
applications developed in different languages or hosted on different
platforms to communicate in an independent non-proprietary way.

Google this one yourself, it's almost lunch time. :)
