About this book
This book combines all major practical Web technologies and covers a complete series of Web applications. It provides an instant course and a reference for Web design beginners, young professionals (Web design programmers and engineers), as well as Web practitioners. We do not attempt to cover all aspects of a particular technology or to solve every problem with a single technology. Instead, we consider Web technologies as a whole to solve problems and generate applications. The contents and materials are organized with practical implementations in mind. All major Web technologies are included and arranged into five parts and three levels of study according to their strengths, application areas, and competition with other technologies:
Basic level: | HTML/XHTML, CSS, Java, ECMAScript (or JavaScript), XML, and XSLT | Intermediate: | DOM (W3C Document Object Model), CGI, Perl, ASP, ASP.NET, and PHP | Advanced: | MySQL (Web Databases), SSL and TLS (Web Security), WML and WMLScript (Mobile Internet) |
A complete spectrum of Web applications is presented, from Web design, client and server scripting, and e-commerce to cutting-edge skills such as broadcasting live video, Web databases and SSL security. More than 400 working examples are provided. Most of them are real applications from Web industries and projects. They are presented in "cut and paste" format so that they can be used directly in other Web applications. By including over 450 illustrations and screen shots, mastering all the Web technologies step by step in a global way can be achieved smoothly.
