2.0 out of 5 stars To Brief, March 20, 2000

a buyer (Indonesia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Belt Web Programming Methods (Software Development Conference masters collection) (Paperback)

I could not use this book for a reference. The content is to brief. This book is like a novel, Once you've read it, your're done, and will never go back read it again. The pictures inside is also very poor, some even completely can not be read. I bought this book because I wanted to know about web site security. But the security chapter only (briefly) discuss on several types encryption. This book should not titled as Web Programming Methods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of wide-range of Web topics, December 23, 1998

This review is from: Black Belt Web Programming Methods (Software Development Conference masters collection) (Paperback)

I found this book to be an excellent work on Internet programming. Although I am an experienced programmer, I'm fairly new to a lot of Web concepts. This book fills in the gap very nicely! I don't think you can say this book is for "beginners" or "advanced users"--I think there is something there for everybody.

Two topics I found particulary clear & useful dealt with security and Web databases. There is also a lot of useful material on HTML, Java, and CGI gateways. There is also in-depth coverage of material for Web administration which is probably pretty good too, but since I'm not involved with that, I can't say for sure. But I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in Web development, especially programmer-types.
