Programming the World Wide Web provides a comprehensive introduction to the programming tools and skills required for building and maintaining server sites on the Web, as well as teaching students how to develop platform-independent sites. Client-side tools such at HTML and sever-side tools such as CGI are all covered. This book is geared toward students who already have a solid background in some language that supports object-oriented programming.

The author has reorganized the chapters for the second edition of the book. They are now grouped into three parts, each with a specific focus. Part One covers the fundamentals of programming the Web; Part Two focuses on client-side programming; and Part Three focuses on server-side programming.

Guides readers through concepts relating to client-side and server-side programming providing them with knowledge needed to program the Web quickly and correctly.

Written with a consistent pedagogy, which leads readers in a methodical manner through the concepts, providing an overview of programming and software/hardware issues relating to the WWW.

Takes a holistic approach to Web programming, covering JavaScript, Perl, CGI, Java Applets, and more.

Includes an “Introduction to Java” Appendix for C++ programmers.

Material on the newest W3 standards including Dom2 and XHTML.

Additional information on server side tools with a new chapter devoted to PHP and added material on programs such at MySQL and Access.

Companion Web site created as a reference component to the book, while still maintaining it for a one semester, introduction class size.

(Each Chapter concludes with a Summary, Review Questions, and Exercises.)

Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore
For undergraduate students who have completed a course in object-oriented programming. Most courses are offered in computer science departments.

Programming the World Wide Web 2009 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 the most 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, PHP, Ruby, and Rails.
