In one concise volume, this book contains all of the essential
information needed to create and maintain a World Wide Web site. You
will find information on finding, compiling, installing and
configuring web server software; on understanding the ins and outs of
HTTP and HTML; on converting existing documents to HTML; on
incorporating graphics, sound and video into your pages; on
incorporating executable programs that run such features as searchable
indexes, fill-out forms, clikable maps, and gateways to other
services; and on writing server scripts to create dynamic documents.
Lincoln D. Stein is Director of Informatics at the Whitehead
Institute/ MIT Center for Genome Research, one of the world's most
respected biomedical research sites. Dr. Stein set up the Institute's
Web server, and this book was born of his experiences and frustrations
in gathering the information necessary to accomplish this task.
Dr. Stein also teaches at Harvard Medical School, and is the author of
several articles in the fields of computer science and medical
research.
This book is one of Amazon.com's best selling titles, appropriately
enough.
