    This text introduces the key technologies that have been developed as part of the birth and maturation of the World Wide Web. It provides a consistent, in-depth treatment of technologies that are unlikely to receive detailed coverage in non-Web computer science courses. Students will find an ongoing case study that integrates a wide spectrum of Web technologies, guidance on setting up their own software environments, and a variety of exercises and project assignments.

    Salient Features

    • Standards-first approach in both text and exercises - Encourages students tdevelop standards-compliant software.

    • Java-based representatives - Chosen tdetail Web capabilities that can be provided by several competing technologies, enabling students tfocus on the concepts rather than on learning new languages.

    • All software used in examples and needed for exercises and projects is available via free download for multiple platforms - Enables students trun examples and develop assignments on their own machines rather than in a lab.

    • Web Services coverage includes several technologies such as SOAP, WSDL, and Java-based development tools that are likely tincrease in importance in coming years.

    • Multiple types of exercises in each chapter - Includes exercises, research/exploration problems, and projects.

    • Numerous examples illustrate nearly every concept covered - Examples are often small, illustrating a single concept, with larger examples provided as needed tdemonstrate how concepts can be integrated and/or tprovide motivation.

    • End-of-chapter online references tprimary source material - All freely available on the Web for further study or research assignments.
