From the Author
Internet Developer's Dream Come True...
I wrote this book because a few years ago, I could've used a book like this.
Instead of writing yet another survey of product abstracts (which I find utterly useless), I wanted to write a book with useful information that goes a step beyond helping you to understand and program existing software and architectures. "Databases on the Web" provides a solid foundation for you to comprehend the big picture and how all the little pieces fit together to form the whole.
The book includes source code in Perl, Java, and C, so you get a good sampling of all the languages used. It discusses different architectures: two-tier, three-tier; and what that means to Web-based development. It introduces a classification for middleware and explains how products fit in place between client and server software.
Want to know why C is faster than Perl? Or when Perl can actually be faster than C? What about the pros and cons of using CGI? Alternatives to CGI programming? The difference between FastCGI and CGI? The difference among CGI, FastCGI, and Web server APIs? Read it in the book!
Optimization and security are two topics of most importance to most of us developers. Because of this, "Databases on the Web" includes discussions on optimization and securing every aspect of a Web-based application, from channel encryption (SSL) to educating the users, to Java's built-in security, to expediting SQL queries.
It also has a CD chock full of cool software, including Perl itself, template-based Web development tools, and a demo version of Microsoft's Visual J++.
Who knows, I might get to do a second edition!

Databases on the Web
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
