5.0 out of 5 starsWhirlwind Tour with Case Study (blog), Code Examples and Relevant References
By Mark Twain on February 18, 2009
Format: Paperback
I used this book in my web applications class. This is a great introductory book for those who are tired of design-centric, saccharine, "let's make pretty pages" category of HTML books. If you are an aspiring developer, you need to know more than a mark-up language. This book gives you a working definition of XHTML, and then moves on to the real meat of the web: the technologies that drive real-world web pages; that is, JavaScript, XML, JSP, etc. Of course there are analogs to those listed above. PHP, for one. The author does not argue for "one true technology set." He presents the material so that, if you were to learn PHP instead of JavaScript, it would be a smooth integration to what you already learned.

There is also an appendix explaining how to set up a server, etc. All in all, one of the best dev-centric books on web programming - not just a book of tags! - that I've seen. :)

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat potential!
By Marcel Turcotte on May 13, 2010
Format: Paperback
I would give this book 5 stars, but the material needs to be updated. I have used this book twice for teaching our third year undergraduate course on Web technologies. I like the philosophy of the book, which is 1) to present a single coherent stream of technologies, rather than presenting a large collection of technologies that are more or less equivalent, and 2) to present the fundamental concepts of the Web so that students are well equipped to understand future technologies. The book presents Java-based server-side technologies, which suites our curriculum very well since we are using Java for most of our programming courses, and it also has a good coverage of XML technologies. The author provides numerous references to the relevant RFCs and authoritative documents. The book could be improved by adding more elements of design so that the students better understand the role of these technologies in developing large real-world Web applications. But most importantly, the book needs to be updated to cover the current Web standards. In particular, the Java-based Web services have evolved substantially since the publication of the book. HTML5 is evolving in interesting directions, and should be covered in the textbook. A chapter of JavaServer Faces would be a nice addition. Finally, although most of the textbook presents clear explanations of the concepts, some sections would benefit from the polishing that a second edition would bring. For me, the book is reaching its end of life, but unfortunately, I am not aware of any other textbook with "a computer science perspective" of Web technologies.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood content, crappy print quality
By Daniel X. Ryan on February 5, 2011
Format: Paperback
I am a full time college student. I have probably purchased over 50 textbooks. I have never come across such a poorly printed textbook. Characters are jagged, figures are grainy, and some text is faded. I could have done a better job with my 4 year old inkjet printer. I have contacted the publisher's customer support. No answer yet.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat text for a course
By M. S. Menzin on May 1, 2011
Format: Paperback
This book lives up to the title of "a computer science perspective."
It is well organized and well written, and truly explains the material in a coherent way.
I teach an advanced college course in this area.
