Description

Now in the Fourth Edition, Programming the World Wide Web provides a comprehensive introduction to the tools and skills required for both client- and server-side programming, teaching students how to develop platform-independent sites using current Web development technology. Essential programming exercises are presented using a manageable progression: Students begin with a foundational XHTML Web site and employ new languages and technologies to add features as they are discussed in the course. Readers with previous experience programming with an object-oriented language are guided through concepts relating to client-side and server-side programming, including ASP.NET using C#, JavaScript™, Java™ servlets, Ajax, JSP™, XHTML, XML, Perl™, PHP, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails.


Features

  • Client-side and server-side technologies are covered in two distinct sections, client-side in Chapters 2–7 and server-side in Chapters 8–16.
    • Client-side technology is covered using HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript™, Java™ applets, and XML.
    • Server-side technology is covered using Perl™, Perl™ and CGI, Java™ servlets and JSP™, PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and Ajax.
  • JavaScript™ is introduced in Chapter 4 using students’ knowledge of other programming languages to leverage the discussion.
  • Building XHTML documents is presented in Chapter 6.
  • Perl™ is discussed in Chapters 8 and 9, Chapter 8 focusing on the characteristics and capabilities of Perl™ as a general-purpose programming language, and Chapter 9 integrating the use of Perl™ for CGI programming.
  • Chapter 12 is a complete introduction to ASP.NET, beginning with a brief introduction to C# and continuing with discussions of ASP.NET controls and Web service construction with ASP.NET.
  • Chapter 13 covers Web access to relational databases, including SQL and MySQL, and Web access to databases using Perl™, PHP, and Java™ JDBC™.
  • A brief, accessible Introduction to Java Appendix is included for C++ programmers, including coverage of Java™ applets, servlets, JSP™, and JDBC™.


New To This Edition

  • NEW! Chapters 14–16 cover Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and Ajax.
  • NEW! Appendix C on Java™ Applets.
