More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For a wide variety of Web Programming, HTML, and JavaScript courses found in Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering, and Continuing Education departments. Also appropriate for an introductory programming course (replacing traditional programming languages like C, C++ and Java) for schools wanting to integrate the Internet and World Wide Web into their curricula.
The revision of this groundbreaking book in the Deitels'How to Program series offers a thorough treatment of programming concepts, with programs that yield visible or audible results in Web pages and Web-based applications. The book discusses effective Web-page design, server- and client-side scripting, ActiveX® controls and the essentials of electronic commerce. Internet & World Wide Web How to Program also offers an alternative to traditional introductory programming courses. The fundamentals of programming no longer have to be taught in languages like C, C++ and Java. With Internet/Web markup languages (such as HTML, Dynamic HTML and XML) and scripting languages (such as JavaScript®, VBScript® and Perl/CGI), you can teach the fundamentals of programming “wrapped in the Web-page metaphor.”

This book covers just about all of the technologies you will hit on when programming for the web. I bought this book for the simple reason that it covers topics in a simple (no rubbish), matter of fact, kind of a way.
If you are looking for a book that focuses on just one area in great detail, then this is not really the book for you .. however, if you are happy enough just to read the basics (we aren't talking about a Dummies Guide either, it is comprehensive enough), giving you a grounding in all areas .. then this is definitely a book that you can use.
In general I will find this book invaluable on my desk. I think it is well worth the money for a reference guide.

Welcome to Programming 101
4 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
I would like to preface this review by explaining that I have never been a great fan of the classic classroom approach to learning programming. I truly believe that educators need to take a real-world approach to teaching this subject, instead of the classic "theoretical" approach. Programming is a craft, and needs to be taught as such, not an abstract concept needing mathematical constructs and proofs to be totally understood. Yes, this stuff is ultimately necessary to know. But it falls on deaf ears to beginning programmers for at least two possible reasons: It fails to provide instant gratification to those students that want to see results, and/or it discourages students who cannot as yet see the "30,000 foot view", and therefore see the definitions out of context.
Which brings me to this book. The authors have apparently "seen the light" and have tried to adapt to the current programming standards by making their introduction to programming revolve around the web and internet environment. This is definitely a step in the right direction. The authors are to be applauded for that and also for their attempt to cover all the standard languages required to develop web applications today, a list which seems to go on forever. Unfortunately, they do it by limiting the scope to the usual pedantic exercises you get in Programming 101 at WhatsaMatta U. Examples: recursion is explained by creating a "factorial" calculator, a Java Script program that calculates a class's grade point average, references to the Fibonacci series. I would figure by now that professors would have gotten away from the penchant of using math examples for programming class, but I guess not. Bottom line: very little useful code. The authors spend much time teaching the classics: Arrays, Lists, sorting algorithms, control structures, and very little time actually using them. I would like it the other way around. I wouldn't spend more time defining a hammer than showing how to use it. Why do programming instructors think that their students need definitions more than they need real world examples?
Deitel and company try to cover alot of material in a rather slim volume. Accolades for that. Anyone looking for their first programming book, look no further....this is as good a place to start as any. You will as a result of buying this book, save lots of money and time. Where can you find an introduction to HTML, JavaScript, DHTML, VBScript, ActiveX, CGI, Perl, Java Servlets and XML all under one cover, not to mention basic programming? However, don't assume you will be creating your first website with this book, either, practically speaking, although it is certainly feasible to create something rudimentary. Buy this book if you always wanted to take Programming 101. Or......buy this book if you realize that the plethora of tools necessary to do web programming is intimidating, or at least, confusing, and you are looking for a guide that will explain how it all fits together, and "where to go from here".

Samples work on Internet Explorer Only
16 May 2002
Format:Paperback
I would agree with Robert Schmaus' comment that the book is geared toward Microsoft products. I taught a web programming course and was upset to find that many of the javascript code samples in book do not work with the Netscape browser. Robert Schmaus is also correct by stating that good web developers should develop for all platforms and browsers.....
It is not a bad book. It is very good for covering a wide number of topics. The book could be improved by putting a chapter on Coldfusion since it covers so much breadth. It could also be improved by being less Microsoft oriented. It does have its flaws, however I will still be using it as the textbook in my course.

A confusing melange of things (none very helpful...)
27 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
Perhaps I'm jaundiced by being somewhat intelligent and having a better than adequate knowledge of programming. I bought this book hoping it would lead to new insights into programming in some popular languages (VBScript, JavaScript, Perl, ASP, etc.) and perhaps show me some tricks I could use in my everyday work.
What I got was a heavy (it's like a very expensive brick), thick, badly organized, poorly laid out doorstop. There is a lot of information in it and that's perhaps its biggest problem. It can't seem to teach simple, straightforward programming, but hops and skips around the various styles of each language, without adequately exploring good, basic programming skills.
Occasionally you glean a useful bit of information, but the examples are confusing often, not explained fully, and fairly dense. You really never have enough time to take in what you've learned before you're off to the next example.
Do yourself a big favor and spend the money you'd have sunk into this atrocious tome and buy a couple of smaller books on your main areas of interest. You'll learn the topics better and you won't get strained muscles from lifting the books.
