About this title

Synopsis

Do you have too many books about the Web and not enough space on your bookshelf? WebMaster in a Nutshell takes all the essential reference information for the Web and pulls it together into one slim volume. This book is a quick reference for anyone who does work on the Web - content providers, programmers, and administrators alike. WebMaster in a Nutshell covers:

• HTML 3.2, the markup language for Web documents
• CGI, for creating interactive content on the Web
• JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded directly into HTML
• HTML extensions by Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0
• Examples and descriptions of the HTML tags for creating frames, tables, and fill-in forms
• HTTP 1.1, the underlying protocol that drives the Web
• Configuration for the Apache, NCSA, CERN, Netscape, and WebSite servers
• Perl 5, the programming language used most often for CGI
• WinCGI, the CGI interface for Windows-based programming languages
• Cookies, for maintaining state between multiple instances of CGI, Java, and JavaScript programs

WebMaster in a Nutshell breaks up these topics into concise, distinct chapters, designed to make it easy to find the information you want at a moment's notice. This is a book that anyone working seriously on the Web will find indispensable.

Review

This terrific reference book condenses the material of at least five huge volumes on Web site construction into a single small one. It doesn't teach how to develop and maintain a Web site, but it puts all the commands, syntax information, and related knowledge where you can find them quickly. Sections cover HTML, CGI, HTTI, JavaScript, and server configurations. Each section begins with a brief overview of the topic then follows with a series of well-organized lists, charts, and other reminders to help you rapidly find a little-used command or forgotten bit of information.
