Produktbeschreibung
This book provides and in-depth examination of the core concepts and general principles of web application development, using examples from specific technologies. This conceptual knowledge is critical when designing and debugging complex systems, and makes it easier to learn the new application programming interfaces (APIs) that arise in the rapidly changing Internet environment
Split into three sections:
HTTP protocol as a foundation for web applications
Discussion of markup languages such as HTML, XML and CSS
Survey of emerging technologies
Includes new coverage on technologies including:
Rapid application approaches Ruby on Rails
Application Primers
Search technology, including Search Engine Optimization
·Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
·XML Path Language (XPath)
Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P)
User-generated content technology for community websites and online collaboration applications
Security and encryption It is not enough for Web application developers to be proficient in just one platform. As platforms grow and evolve, and as new ones arise, developers must be able to transfer their proficiency across platforms in order to build complex Web applications effectively. This book helps developers understand the underlying core technologies so that they can learn new APIs and application frameworks more quickly.
Web Application Architecture provides an in-depth examination of the basic concepts and general principles associated with Web application development, using examples that illustrate specific technologies. This conceptual knowledge is critical when building and deploying complex systems that are scaleable, extensible, maintainable and reusable. The book explains the underlying protocols and languages that support Web application development, and delineates the best practices associated with building robust applications. It describes mechanisms for providing Web access to heterogeneous data sources including relational databases and multimedia.
The new edition includes brand new and fully updated chapters on:
Internet protocols - from TCP/IP to HTTP and beyond
software components - servers, browsers, proxies and agents
the dynamic web - how web applications present dynamic data
markup languages - HTML, XML and CSS
tools, libraries and frameworks - AJAX, Struts, and Ruby on Rails
search technologies - underlying principles, application design, and SEO
future directions and emerging technologies - XML Query, RDF, and the Semantic Web
Ideally suited for course usage and self-study, this practical, engaging textbook is essential reading for students, programmers and system architects and designers alike. It provides a comprehensive, timely overview of modern web technology.
