Everything you need to know about creating robust Web applications

Platforms may change. Languages may evolve. But by mastering the fundamental concepts underlying Web applications, you’ll better develop the skills and knowledge you need to work with current and emerging technologies.

With Web Applications: Concepts and Real World Design, you’ll learn the craft of Web programming and develop a deeper understanding of how HTML, JavaScript, Perl, database programming, and XML work together to enable three–tier Web applications. Coverage begins with a brief refresher of the internet and Web applications, followed by a review of HTML, and CSS, an introduction to client–side programming using JavaScript and browser objects. The heart of the book features a thorough exploration of fundamental concepts, such as dynamically generated web pages, session state, cookies, database support and search capabilities.
