easy examples, but builds on previous books

The fun and easy way to start
And now you may think that programs that do it all for you would be easier to start with. However, if you do not have a basic idea of how Dynamic HTML works you will not be able to answer the questions on what to do. This book goes from the fundamentals of building a practical website. Unfortunately, it does not show how to mail “form” information back to you from the website. There are a lot of practical examples but this book is somewhat dated. The book is also geared to Apache server and UNIX concepts therefore it should work on 90 percent of the websites that you encounter. The code is also more transportable because of this.
You need to check with your potential I.S.P. to see if they’re using Internet information services (ISS) if so this book may be of little use because it is proprietary and uses a weird syntax.
