| SYNOPSIS |
Do you have too many books about the Web and not enough space on your bookshelf? WebMaster in a Nutshell takes all the essential reference information for the Web and pulls it together into one slim volume. This book is a quick reference for anyone who does work on the Web - content providers, programmers, and administrators alike. WebMaster in a Nutshell covers:
* HTML 3.2, the markup language for Web documents
* CGI, for creating interactive content on the Web
* JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded directly into HTML
* HTML extensions by Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0
* Examples and descriptions of the HTML tags for creating frames, tables, and fill-in forms
* HTTP 1.1, the underlying protocol that drives the Web
* Configuration for the Apache, NCSA, CERN, Netscape, and WebSite servers
* Perl 5, the programming language used most often for CGI
* WinCGI, the CGI interface for Windows-based programming languages
* Cookies, for maintaining state between multiple instances of CGI, Java, and JavaScript programs
* Server Side Includes, for embedding dynamic data into Web pages
WebMaster in a Nutshell breaks up these topics into concise, distinct chapters, designed to make it easy to find the information you want at a moment's notice. This is a book that anyone working seriously on the Web will find indispensable.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
| | Stephen Spainhour | Stephen Spainhour co-authored Webmaster in a Nutshell, Perl in a Nutshell, 1st Edition, and contributed to many other O'Reilly titles. He is an avid fan of professional tennis, and when he's not checking for tennis scores on the Web, he enjoys cooking, electronic music, troubleshooting his home-built PC, and watching too much television. | | Valerie Quercia | Valerie Quercia is a writer for O'Reilly & Associates. Val and Tim O'Reilly have coauthored several editions of the X Window System User's Guide. She is also coauthor of X User Tools, with Linda Mui, who happens to be the editor of WebMaster in a Nutshell. Once unfairly labeled Madame X, Ms. Quercia is now writing about the World Wide Web, and, occasionally, about baseball. Val has been a Red Sox fan since her grandmother taught her what a grand slam was in 1967. Despite a suspiciously yellowing high school diploma, Val insists she was an embryo at the time. |
