sorry about that everyone, not sure why I put 10.1 in there, it was a copy/past input.
we are currently using 10.2.2 here so I hope that clarifies things for everyone.
just looking for a good all around intro to get a good base before I take any classes, etc
found the following website:
ArcGIS for Server 101
didn't know if anyone else had any helpful resources they could share.
thanks again!
Dave
