I will explain in simple terms

C is a programming language, C++ is an extension of the C programming language the main difference between C and C++ is that C++ is object oriented.

Java is a programming language, the syntax for Java is similar to C although, Java is mainly associated with Web Development, such as applets. The main advantage of Java over C++ is that when you write a program you dont have to rewrite it, if you want it to run on many different platforms (PC,Unix,etc).

CGI (Common Gateway Interface) Script - A script can be called a CGI script as long as it's installed on the server end. However, the majority of CGI scripts are written in Perl (with C being the next most common). It is exactly the fact that CGI is installed on the server end that makes it able to do all those things such submit a form, create a guest book or forum, keep track of and rotate your ads etc.

Hope thats clear enough for you.
