Description

After completing this
self-contained course on server-based Internet applications software, students
who start with only the knowledge of how to write and debug a computer program
will have learned how to build web-based applications on the scale of
Amazon.com. Unlike the desktop applications that most students have already
learned to build, server-based applications have multiple simultaneous users.
This fact, coupled with the unreliability of networks, gives rise to the
problems of concurrency and transactions, which students learn to manage by
using the relational database system. After working their way to the
end of the book, students will have the skills to take vague and ambitious
specifications and turn them into a system design that can be built and
launched in a few months. They will be able to test prototypes with end-users
and refine the application design. They will understand how to meet the
challenge of extreme business requirements with automatic code generation and
the use of open-source toolkits where appropriate. Students will understand
HTTP, HTML, SQL, mobile browsers, VoiceXML, data modeling, page flow and
interaction design, server-side scripting, and usability analysis.The
book, which originated as the text for an MIT course, is suitable for
classroom use and will be a useful reference for software professionals
developing multi-user Internet applications. It will also help managers
evaluate such commercial software as Microsoft Sharepoint of Microsoft Content
Management Server.
