Summary

This book is designed for college students as an introduction to developing applications for the Web. Little previous programming experience is expected. It details script writing and good programming practice but also shows the surrounding context allowing students to see how the technologies fit together rather than existing as isolated units, and takes in recent developments and technologies, most significantly PHP, to provide a practical and modern introduction to building web applications.
