This book is the first book on an exciting new product known as HTML/OS.

This book makes the development of advanced Web sites easier than ever.

This book is written for Web designers and developers, programmers, commercial product developers, and anyone who wants an advanced Web site. If you know some HTML and a bit of scripting you can use this book. Advanced Web Sites Made Easy guides you through the ins and outs of HTML/OS. It includes a thorough discussion of how HTML/OS works, over 100 examples of advanced Web pages (such as shopping carts, database search pages, e-mail merge programs, and login pages) and a 30-day free trial of HTML/OS pre-installed on the Web for every buyer of this book.

ADVANCED WEB SITES MADE EASY is simple, clear and easy to understand with lots of examples and exercises. It travels deep in advanced HTML/OS programming for the more advanced programmers.
I have been working with Aestiva HTML/OS for 5 years; I have used PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion and many other similar products. I haven't found anything else that can come close to the performance, flexibility and easiness of use of Aestiva's engine. It's a tool to be use by beginners as well as veteran professionals in the Internet industry, like myself.
This book is a must for all web developers....

5.0 out of 5 stars Even for the novice, February 27, 2002

This review is from: Advanced Web Sites Made Easy : The Simple Way to Build Web Databases and Other Applications with HTML/OS (Paperback)

The Aestiva HTML/OS program makes creating interactive websites with databases, search on demand systems, and other usually complicated programming tasks quite easy. I have NO programming experience. Aestiva's near-English commands and simple coding structure mean that I have built and helped to build dozens of sites. The syntax is easy to pick up (learn by doing) and the online lessons that come with each copy make the learning FAST. If you want more control of your website and less dependence on gurus I urge you to read this book.

This review is from: Advanced Web Sites Made Easy : The Simple Way to Build Web Databases and Other Applications with HTML/OS (Paperback)

i was not web programmer before and i found this book in aestiva H2O web site, it was my first advanced web programming and was really easy to achive perfect results

the only thing the author may need to add is a CD-Rom, book some time have long code parts or at least a web location where you can copy and paste the codes

also book did not mention that aestiva has released free and smaller copy of HTML/OS called H2O Gold, and because this release if free, it will encourage newbies to start learning HTML/OS rather than the $800 for HTMLOS PRO, the book is very usefull too if you just want to use H2O only.

last advice, if you totally new to web programming then get this book with a free copy of H2O and you really done, do not bother yourself again with complicated PHP and PERL things
