Product Description
Product Description
Cookies are controversial programming tools which help users keep track of where they are on a Web site - but they have also been rumoured to be the cause of virus mongering and security breeches. This text intends to show Web professionals how to make the most of Cookies.
From the Author
Cookies presents users and developers with key cookie info.
Cookies gives users and developers a guide to the many mysteries of a simple but controversial tool, from how to create and use cookies appropriately to how to block and destroy them.
Cookies gives users and developers a guide to the many mysteries of a simple but controversial tool, from how to create and use cookies appropriately to how to block and destroy them.
Introduced in Netscape Navigator version 1.1, cookies are small pieces of text that remain on the user's machine until they expire or are deleted. Cookies get passed back and forth with every web transaction (though only to the domain that originally set the cookie), allowing developers to track users over multiple page hits or even over years.
Cookies have earned a bad name for privacy invasion, given their ability to track users from visit to visit and (under very particular circumstances) from site to site. Most of this bad name is unwarranted, but Cookies gives users the information they need to turn off and destroy cookies where they feel it appropriate.
Cookies also gives developers examples of sites that maintain state over multiple visits, using JavaScript and VBScript in the browser, and Perl, Netscape Server-Side Java Script, Microsoft Active Server Pages, and Java servlets on the server. It also provides coverage of Microsoft Site Server and its tools for 'personalizing' sites and following usage patterns, as well as the latest update to the cookie standard.

It's great that there's at least one book on the subject!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cookies (Paperback)
This book is very well written with source code included. The only thing lacking is an electronic source. I spent many hours combined debugging my code since there is no media with the book. It is fantastic however. A definite must for developing complex cookie based solutions.

THE BOOK on cookies,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cookies (Paperback)
Well if you want to be able to make a shopping cart, make a mission statement compiler or just about anything else with cookies THIS IS THE BOOK. Even if you don't have mush programming experience this book would be good for you. This is definitely a good book for all web developers.
