About Internet
& World Wide Web How to Program, Fourth Edition
Dive Into® Web 2.0 is a chapter from
our book
Internet
and World Wide Web How to Program, 4/e, which introduces
students with little or no programming experience and programmers 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,
and Ruby/Ruby on Rails), Ajax, web services, web servers (IIS and Apache)
and relational databases (MySQL/SQL Server Express/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.
