Web Server Programming |

| When the web transitioned from a publishing to an interactive e-commerce medium, standardised web-browsers entered widespread use and developers were able to rely on a relatively stable client component. Since then, server-side developments have blossomed and resulted in considerable ease of programming, efficiency and increasing sophistication of the server-side environment. Focusing on various technologies that support the server-side processing of data from web-based forms, principally CGI style programs, scripting and Java solutions, this is a book tailored to the technical and computational components of running a commercial and successful website. To benefit most from this approach, you will have a working knowledge of HTML, some programming experience in Java or C++, and limited experience with databases. Its concentration on server-side to the exclusion of web-page design and client-side concerns will be welcomed by practitioners and students who want hands-on and in-depth guidance on:
*Setting up and running an Apache server *Use of Perl for web CGI programming and support administrative tasks *PHP Scripting - ideal for prototyping small web services *Servlet technologies *JSP - separating the issues of business programming and presentation *XML - a few of its applications *Advanced services with EJBs *NET's new world order - a better model for client/server interaction | | |
