Synopsis:

A Web-Based Introduction to Programming is designed for use in introductory programming, programming logic and design, or Web programming courses, and for anyone seeking a painless way to learn the basics of programming by developing small Web applications. The book is clearly written, using consistent examples in every chapter and step-by-step descriptions of standard programming procedures. Each chapter follows precise learning outcomes that are accurately tested by the end-of-chapter quizzes and exercises.A Web-Based Introduction to Programming keeps the focus on the need for beginning programmers to learn essential syntax and control structures with minimal complexity. Each chapter focuses on a single topic and related material is provided in appendices. Students learn to convert requirements into algorithms, and then develop small Web-based applications using a combination of PHP and HTML.The chapter code exercises are designed to improve skill and confidence step-by-step: fixit exercises provide small programs that include a single error of some kind and help students develop their problem-solving abilities and debugging skills; modify exercises provide working programs that must be modified to perform a somewhat different or additional function (these exercises test students' ability to read, understand, and adapt existing code); code completion exercises allow students to apply all concepts and tools covered in the chapter by developing new applications; and all required software is provided and can be installed quickly and easily in minutes under Windows, Macintosh OS X or Linux. The software can be installed entirely on a USB drive so that students can carry their complete work environment with them (no need for special classroom installation).
