This review is from: Forms: Interactivity for the World Wide Web (Paperback)
The first three chapters (100 pages) show you how to create HTML and PDF forms. The interaction between the browser and the server is explained. The section titled "Choosing Your Scripting Language" demonstrates Perl, C, JavaScript, Java, Visual Basic, VBScript, active server pages (ASP), and Applescript. The final two chapters (518 pages) contain the following eight examples: business card order, W4 employer form, 1040 Tax Form, Drivers License Order, Employee Benefits, Stock Photo Library, Resume Submission, and University Course Enrollment. The server scripts are written in Perl. The discussion of creating form fields in Acrobat Exchange bogs down the examples. However, the examples demonstrate important web programming techniques such as creating forms, creating server side scripts, maintaining state information (needed because of page transitions) in a PDF form using hidden fields, generating FDF files, and serializing information in a database.

This review is from: Forms: Interactivity for the World Wide Web (Paperback)
I was rather excited when I picked up this book to see that someone had simplified the production of forms for Web Page development... H O W E V E R.... Whoever the editor was and the author is ... they both DID NOT Care too well about the companion website... Adobe Press doesn't even own up to publishing the book as I had explored the Adobe website to find out the correct companion site. I don't know if the book is worth it.. since I returned it since I got no response from Adobe and there is no way of contacting the author.. |
