Programming the World Wide Web

Rate this book
Robert Sebesta's Programming the World Wide Web is one of the most valuable resources available to readers seeking a solid introduction to the construction and maintenance of Web sites. It includes clear explanations of the most current and widely accepted programming tools including client-server technologies such as XHTML, XML, JavaScript, and Java applets, as well as server-side tools like Perl, PHP, and Java servlets.
In this edition, the new chapter on PHP, the heavily revised chapter on Web access to databases, and the new description of XML Schemas provide the most up-to-date tools needed to develop platform-independent Web sites suited for the rapidly evolving environment of the Internet. This edition also provides a new organization that clarifies the distinction between the many client-side and server-side technologies accepted as the current industry standards.

Sebesta does a great job in explaining the basic things, but the book is just too cramped up, too much technologies on too little pages. With this book, you get a basic introduction into XHTML, Javascript, CSS, XML, Pearl, JSP etc. The problem is, that you can find better tutorials on the internet for free (which also explain more things), without reading the book.

This first couple chapters of this book are very interesting and easy to understand. However the further into the book I got the more lost and confused I became. He spends a lot of time comparing the computer languages he discusses (JavaScript, PHP, XML, and XHTM) to other languages like C and C+ even though most readers of this book probably do not have experience with these.

Pretty easy flowing introduction to full stack development. As an introductory text, not too much depth into any one subject, but a great starting point.
For a class.
