- Summary:
-
World Wide Web (WWW) sites have been blossoming at an astounding rate, with good reason; WWW technology has proven extraordinarily effective at creating a flexible, interactive, and graphic medium for sharing all kinds of information over the Internet.
Here in one concise volume you will find all of the essential information needed to create and maintain a World Wide Web site. Following every stage of the process, this book covers all aspects of WWW server design, setup, and maintenance, including: finding, compiling, installing, and configuring the appropriate web server software; understanding the ins and outs of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); creating hypertext documents with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML); converting existing documents to hypertext; working with graphics, sound, and video; incorporating executable programs that run such features as searchable indexes; fill-out forms, clickable maps, and gateways to other services, and writing server scripts to create dynamic documents. In addition, an entire chapter focuses on security, pointing out the risks inherent in a WWW site and how to protect your site from these dangers without hampering its smooth operation.
Most importantly, the book's illustrated "Style Guide" shows you how to put all of this information together to design a fully functioning web site that balances your desire for eye-catching graphics with the practical need for speedy performance.
