Doing these fancy charts, but on the web

[CalvinGraham]

Folks, I know this is a not exactly Excel question but I thought I might nonetheless get some sensible technical advice.

Essentially I've got some great Excel dashboard stuff working, dynamic ranges, charts plus all the other features that excellent spreadsheets should have and I wanted to extend some of what I'm doing to a Web environment. If you look at something like Wikinvest or Google Finance, those are examples of nice web-browser based interactive charts and I'd like that sort of a thing but on a website for our intranet, website etc, as a sample of what's going on in the sector.

I'm pretty hot when it comes to application programming (VBA and C++) so I'm not a complete beginner but I've not really got too much of a clue when it comes to networked/web based stuff, although my SQL is pretty good. I wanted to know where to start, language to learn or what book to buy and read through in order to achieve what I'm after. I'm thinking that I have a few weeks vacation starting soon and I'd like to set some goals for next year.

Thanks in advance for any good advice people can offer me
