About the Textbook Web development is an evolving amalgamation of languages that work in concert to re- ceive, modify, and deliver information between parties using the Internet as a mechanism of delivery. While it is easy to describe conceptually, implementation is accompanied by an overwhelming variety of languages, platforms, templates, frameworks, guidelines, and stan- dards. Navigating a project from concept to completion often requires more than mastery of one or two complementing languages, meaning today’s developers need both breadth, and depth, of knowledge to be effective. This text provides the developer with an understanding of the various elements of web development by focusing on the concepts and fundamentals through the examples within, providing a foundation that allows easier transition to other languages and a better un- derstanding of how to approach their work. The reader will be introduced to topics in a manner that follows most project development methods, from initial conceptualization and design through front end development, back end development, and introducing additional concepts like accessibility and security, while focusing on responsive design techniques. Each section of the text includes opportunities to practice the material and assess increased knowledge after examining the topics. About the Author Michael Mendez, M.S., is a professional web developer and professor with a master’s degree received after studying computer science, business, and communications at the State University of New York, University at Fredonia. Having worked in the information tech- nology field for over 12 years, he has provided the small to medium business market and public sector agencies with services in hardware and network installation and support, web development, systems support and maintenance, and solutions design and implementation. These experiences have involved academic, media, emergency management, non-profit, business to business, and business to consumer organizations. Reviewer’s Notes It is always a challenge to teach a course in web design or web programming. Systems that run on the World Wide Web must necessarily change with the emergence of any sort of new computer technology, creating a rapidly evolving landscape. The students that enroll in web development courses are a particularly diverse group; the subject attracts strong programmers with weak aesthetic design skills as well as those who are more aesthetically inclined with little knowledge of programming. Finally, the visibility and mission criticality of web platforms makes the design and security of these systems paramount. The Missing Link attempts to bridge the gap between these conflicting educational de- mands. While most web development texts opt to delve deeply into one or two of the tools in the belt of a web programmer, the author of this text takes a broad approach to teaching web programming and development. The result is a single resource that integrates good design practices, modern technologies, and all of the programming tools that one would need to build a successful, dynamic web site. Unlike many texts, this one begins by giving the readers a solid foundation in the tech- nology that runs the Internet along with a sense of what technology is currently coming of age. This is followed by both a process and pattern-oriented slant on web design that fo- cuses on the Model-View-Controller structure which underlies the rest of the text. HTML and CSS covered for the development of web interfaces. The PHP and JavaScript sections enable readers to develop the controllers for those interfaces. Finally, a concise introduction to databases and SQL allows for the development of robust data models. In addition to the unique combination of content found in this book, the tone is also one of practicality. The author doesn’t mince words and gets right to the point with ex- amples meant to be referenced quickly and often. Although this directness may put off some readers who prefer to read texts cover to cover, all software developers know that this is how texts are used in the real world. In the end, the broad approach that The Missing Link takes to web design and pro- gramming combined with the text’s concise presentation of information makes this a web programming text unlike any other.

  • CHAPTER 15 Beyond Express Edition: Special Features of Visual Studio
    CHAPTER 15 Beyond Express Edition: Special Features of Visual Studio LEARNING OBJECTIVES ● To understand how Visual Web Developer Express Edition differs from the full version provide with Visual Studio ● To be aware of the various mark-up languages for mobile devices ● To be able to use Visual Studio to build mobile web applications ● To be able to localize a web application ● To be aware of current developments in .NET INTRODUCTION So far in Dynamic Web Application Development using ASP.NET we have looked at features of Visual Web Developer that are available in the Express Edition of the product. However the Express Edition does not have all of the features available with the complete edition of Visual Web Developer, which is shipped with Visual Studio. In this chapter we introduce a number of important features of the full edition of the product, including the ability to create mobile web forms and localization. We also outline some of the other differences between the Express Editions of Visual Web Developer, and also SQL Server, and the professional versions typically used in commercial web development. 15.1 Beyond Visual Web Developer Express Edition So far, this book has covered ASP.NET web development using the Express Editions of Visual Web Developer and SQL Server. Professional or commercial web developers are more likely to use a commercial edition of this software, so it is worthwhile pointing out here the main differences. There is no standalone commercial edition of Visual Web 1 Developer. Instead, you should buy one of the versions of Visual Studio such as Stan- dard, Professional or Team System, where the complete version of Visual Web Developer is one of the installation options.

  • Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe
    Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe Abstract Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans. The importance of quality assurance for web sites is introduced, and one particular area, validation of HTML, is described in more detail. The bulk of the paper is devoted to weblint: what it is, how it is used, and the design and implementation of the current development version. 1. Introduction The conclusion opens with a summary of the information and opinions given in this paper. A Web sites are becoming an increasingly critical part of selection of the lessons learned over the last four years how many companies do business. For many companies is given, followed by plans for the future, and related web sites are their business. It is therefore critical that ideas. owners of web sites perform regular testing and analysis, to ensure quality of service. 2. Web Site Quality Assurance There are many different checks and analyses which The following are some of the questions you should be you can run on a site. For example, how usable is your asking yourself if you have a web presence. I have site when accessed via a modem? An incomplete list of limited the list to those points which are relevant to similar analyses are given at the start of Section 2.

If you enjoy this preview, please check back at ComeauSoftware.com for more details and updates on anticipated release dates. https://www.comeausoftware.com/understanding-mysql-and-mariadb/ All material, Copyright 2019 – Andrew Comeau 3 Installing MariaDB with XAMPP Using MariaDB as part of a suite of web development tools In This Lesson … • Understand the purpose of an Apache - MySQL - PHP (AMP) software stack • Recognize the variations in AMP stack packages available for download • Install an AMP stack for use in developing databases and hosting web applications What is an AMP Stack? As powerful as MySQL is, it's rarely used on its own. Most developers will want additional tools such as programming languages and interface tools to escape the tedium of working on the command line all the time. This is one of the reasons that MySQL is often used in combination with other tools that will enable the design of user-friendly sites. This means either creating or downloading a ready-made AMP stack. AMP usually stands for "Apache-MySQL-PHP" although the P might also stand for Perl or Python. In general, it simply refers to one or more programming languages that are included with the software stack. An AMP stack is called a stack because each tool within it addresses a different aspect of database and web development and helps support the others. • Apache is a web server - software that can respond to requests for pages and other content within a website.
