| For a wide variety of Web Programming, HTML, and JavaScript courses found in Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering, and Continuing Education departments. Also appropriate for an introductory programming course (replacing traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Java) for schools wanting to integrate the Internet and World Wide Web into their curricula.
The goal of this book is to introduce students with little or no programming experience to Web-based applications. This text teaches the fundamentals needed to program on the Internet. Coverage of introductory programming principles, various markup languages (XHTML, Dynamic HTML and XML), several scripting languages (JavaScript, VBScript, Perl, Python, PHP, ColdFusion, and FlashActionScript), Web servers (IIS and Apache), and relational databases (MySQL) provide the skills and tools needed to create dynamic Web-based applications.
This edition contains chapters on MM ColdFusion, a leading server-side scripting software package, and MM Dreamweaver, a WYSIWYG editor and Web application creation tool. Hundreds of LIVE-CODE examples (i.e., complete, working programs) of real applications throughout the text and on the accompanying CD allow students to run the applications and see and hear the outputs. Students learn to incorporate multimedia into Web pages and Web-based applications to enhance their presentations. Chapters on e-Business and Accessibility for people with disabilities expose students to a wide range of other topics. Students will be well-prepared to build real-world, industrial-strength, Web-based applications.
