A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

It is not enough for Web application developers to be proficient injust one platform. As platforms grow and evolve, and as new onesarise, developers must be able to transfer their proficiency acrossplatforms in order to build complex Web applications effectively.This book helps developers understand the underlying coretechnologies so that they can learn new APIs and applicationframeworks more quickly.

Web Application Architecture provides an in–depthexamination of the basic concepts and general principles associatedwith Web application development, using examples that illustratespecific technologies. This conceptual knowledge is critical whenbuilding and deploying complex systems that are scaleable,extensible, maintainable and reusable. The book explains theunderlying protocols and languages that support Web applicationdevelopment, and delineates the best practices associated withbuilding robust applications. It describes mechanisms for providingWeb access to heterogeneous data sources including relationaldatabases and multimedia.

The new edition includes brand new and fully updated chapterson:

• Internet protocols – from TCP/IP to HTTP and beyond
• software components – servers, browsers, proxies andagents
• the dynamic web – how web applications present dynamicdata
• markup languages HTML, XML and CSS
• tools, libraries and frameworks – AJAX, Struts, and Ruby onRails
• search technologies underlying principles, applicationdesign, and SEO
• future directions and emerging technologies XML Query,RDF, and the Semantic Web

Ideally suited for course usage and self–study, this practical,engaging textbook is essential reading for students, programmersand system architects and designers alike. It provides acomprehensive, timely overview of modern web technology.
