Programming the Web (Web Developer Series) Book

This book fits into introductory web-authoring courses in the community college, university extension or technical schools, or in web-scripting courses of computer science departments. Offering a straightforward introduction to programming, it needs no prior knowledge of the topic, or of HTML. Starting with an explanation of HTML, the text gently guides the student into learning how to create web pages that actually respond to, and interact with, the web browser through JavaScript. Dr. Lagerstrom has created various types of end of chapter material, which reinforce what has been learned via lab exercises, de-bugging problems and objective questions. Features such as icons are found in the margins to alert students of potential trouble areas and advice. - Throughout the text, examples of either code segments or fully functional scripts illustrate the application of the concept being discussed. - Each chapter contains 1-4 exercises. These are repeated and built upon with key modification pertaining to the new concepts being taught. - The book contains several appendices containing important reference materials for HTML and JavaScript.Read More
