This is like saying. "I can't fly, but I want to learn about planes. To
this end I want to write an F-18 weapons system controller"...
How are you going to write a robot if you haven't learned about the internet?
How is the robot going to decide what stuff is interesting for you, better
than you can by browsing? Why should people feed their pages to your bot
if they don't gain anything, and yo'll likely not look at them?
Whatever happened to books and trade magazines? If you want to learn about
code and/or robots, why not analyse the code for an existing one?

The list is meant to be low level, so don't worry...
