Internet and World Wide Web How to Program, 4/e introduces students with little or no programming experience to the exciting world of Web-based applications. The book has been substantially reworked to reflect today’s Web 2.0 rich Internet application-development methodologies. A comprehensive book that teaches the fundamentals needed to program on the Internet, this text provides in-depth coverage of introductory programming principles, various markup languages (XHTML, Dynamic HTML and XML), several scripting languages (JavaScript, PHP, Ruby/Ruby on Rails and Perl), Ajax, web services, Web servers (IIS and Apache) and relational databases (MySQL/Apache Derby/Java DB)—all the skills and tools needed to create dynamic Web-based applications. The text contains comprehensive introductions to ASP .NET 2.0 and JavaServer Faces (JSF). Hundreds of live-code examples of real applications throughout the book allow readers to run the applications and see and hear the outputs. The book provides instruction on building Ajax-enabled rich Internet applications that enhance the presentation of online content and give web applications the look and feel of desktop applications. The chapter on Web 2.0 and Internet business exposes readers to a wide range of other topics associated with Web 2.0 applications and businesses. After mastering the material in this book, students will be well prepared to build real-world, industrial-strength, Web-based applications.

I figured that since I was going through these examples from the book, I’d take this opportunity to express to you how much I love this text.  Of all the computer science classes I’ve had and all of the different books I’ve purchased and read as a part of the educational process, yours is by far the best.
