Features: As the Web evolved from a publishing medium to an interactive e-commerce medium, standard web browsers became widely used, and developers could rely on relatively stable client components. Since then, server-side development has flourished, ultimately significantly reducing the difficulty of program design, improving efficiency, and enhancing the server-side environment. This book focuses on exploring various technologies, primarily CGI-based programs, scripting programming, and Java solutions, which support processing data from web forms on the server side. The book specifically discusses the technical and computational components required to build a successful business website. To gain the most from this book, you must have basic HTML knowledge, some experience in Java or C++ programming, and a certain level of database experience. The book emphasizes server-side topics without considering web design and client-side issues, making it ideal for professionals and students seeking in-depth guidance and hands-on practice:
· Setting up and running Apache
· Using Perl for WebCGI programming and completing auxiliary management tasks
· PHP scripting—An ideal solution for building small web service prototypes
· Servlet technology
· JSP—Separating transactional programming from content presentation
· XML—Some of its applications
· Advanced services with EJB
· The newcomer .NET—A better client/server interaction model
A unified content presentation approach makes it easier to evaluate and compare, and reduces unnecessary content repetition. Reading this book will help you understand the functionality and applicability of each tool, enabling you to determine which tool is best suited for your environment and needs. Practical examples provide a solid foundation for these widely used server technologies, making them valuable for web administrators, system administrators, and students interested in web programming.
