The Internet is dynamic, chaotic, exciting, interesting, and useful, all at the same time. The Web is pretty fun from a user's point of view, but that's only part of the story. Perhaps the best part of the Internet is how participatory it is. You can build your own content — free! It's really amazing. There's never been a form of communication like this before. Anyone with access to a minimal PC and a little bit of knowledge can create his or her own homestead in one of the most exciting platforms in the history of communication. The real question is how to get there. A lot of Web development books are really about how to use some sort of software you have to buy. That's okay, but it isn't necessary. Many software packages have evolved that purport to make Web development easier — and some work pretty well — but regardless what software package you use, there's still a need to know what's really going on under the surface. That's where this book comes in. You'll find out exactly how the Web works in this book. You'll figure out how to use various tools, but, more importantly, you'll create your piece of the Web. You'll discover: ♦How Web pages are created:You'll figure out the basic structure of Web pages. You'll understand the structure well because you build pages yourself. No mysteries here. ♦How to separate content and style:You'll understand the foundation of modern thinking about the Internet — that style should be separate from content. ♦How to use Web standards:The Web is pretty messy, but, finally, some standards have arisen from the confusion. You'll discover how these standards work and how you can use them. ♦How to create great-looking Web pages:Of course, you want a terrific-looking Web site. With this book, you'll find out how to use layout, style, color, and images. ♦How to build modern layouts:Many Web pages feature columns, menus, and other fancy features. You'll figure out how to build all these things. ♦How to add interactivity:Adding forms to your pages, validating form data, and creating animations are all possible with the JavaScript language. ♦How to write programs on the server:Today's Web is powered by programs on Web servers. You'll discover the powerful PHP language and figure out how to use it to create powerful and effective sites. ♦How to harness the power of data:Every Web developer eventually needs to interact with data. You'll read about how to create databases that work. You'll also discover how to connect databases to your Web pages and how to create effective and useful interfaces. ♦How AJAX is changing everything:The hottest Web technology on the horizon is AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). You'll figure out how to harness this way of working and use it to create even more powerful and interesting applications. (%  ! "  This second edition keeps the organization and content of the first edition. I have made a few changes to keep up with advances in technology: ♦Preview of HTML 5:HTML 5 and CSS 3 offer promising new features. While it may be too early to incorporate these features into every page, it's time to learn what's coming. Book I, Chapter 8 highlights these welcome new advances. ♦Improved PHP coverage:I greatly enhanced and streamlined the PHP content, making it easier to follow. You'll see these improvements throughout Book V. ♦Enhanced jQuery coverage:The jQuery AJAX library has improved dramatically since the first edition. I provide much more detailed coverage including full support for jQuery UI and numerous cool widgets and tools. Book VII is much longer and more detailed than it was in the first edition. ♦A new graphics chapter:A number of readers asked for more coverage of graphics tools, especially Gimp. I added a new chapter to Book VIII describing how to use Gimp to enhance your Web pages. ♦Support for the Website Baker CMS:I use this CMS quite a bit in my Web business, and I find it especially easy to modify. I changed Book VIII, Chapter 3 to explain how to use and modify this excellent CMS. ♦Various tweaks and improvements:No book is perfect (though I really try). There were a few passages in the previous edition that readers found difficult. I tried hard to clean up each of these areas.
