IIS hosts ASP.NET applications, as do other internet servers,
like Cassini, and Apache under Linux or under MAC OS X.

I find MojoPortal to be an interesting application:

MojoPortal is an Object Oriented web site framework written in C# that runs
under ASP.NET on Windows or under Mono on Linux or Mac OS X.

A newsgroup is not a good place to learn "from scratch" about a subject.

IIS is the web server typically used with ASP.NET. You can use it for
development (though Visual Studio 2005 now has a development web server,
so IIS is not strictly necessary anymore) and for production.

IIS is a very complex subject. I recommend you find a book about this.
Additionally, you will probably enjoy Scott Gu's blog, he is an
excellent specialist of IIS at Microsoft and great at explaining how it
works.

Indeed!

Microsoft's IIS Team site is a great IIS resource, too!
