I’m creating an iPhone app and I want the app to be able to send some information in the form of JSON string over a web server/app (I really don’t know) and display it in a web page or save it to a file. I know how to send the request from the iPhone, the problem is I don’t have a clue on how to implement the server side and integrate it with a web page that can respond to the HTTP post I’m trying to send to it. I don’t need any specific details so if you could only point me to the right direction e.g. reading material, websites, key technologies for this.
Thank you for your help
The general term for using JSON and HTTP is RESTful (actually that’s not quite true, as REST doesn’t technically mean JSON [though often it does!] and REST also includes other things, but it’s still a good search term).
Here’s a general set of links about the right kind of areas.
For python:

For C#:

For Java:

That should be enough to get you started; googling based on the various terms will throw up more articles. If you find any really good ones do add to your own answer!
