Product Description

Product Description

This book shows developers how to write sophisticated client/server JavaScript applications that take advantage of the new technologies built into Netscape Communicator, Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0 and Netscape Navigator 3.0. Learn how client/server methodologies can be implemented on the World Wide Web and in intranets, using JavaScript, Netscape Communicator and Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0. This book presents JavaScript and all the fundamentals developers need to understand, including the ways a Web browser model changes client/server application development. Learn about the JavaScript object model, and built-in objects, methods and functions. Next, understand Netscape Communicator and Navigator objects and methods, object method hierarchies, and construction of windows and frames. The book presents extensive coverage of using LiveConnect technology to interface with plug-ins and Java applets. Readers also learn how to write and compile server-side JavaScript, establish connections to databases via SQL and ODBC, and use Netscape's new Site Manager. Netscape Developer's Guide to Javascript is the resource client/server, Web and intranet developers have been waiting for.

Browser-based client/server is the future, and Netscape Developer's Guide to JavaScript is your roadmap for getting there.

JavaScript is more than a great standalone Web scripting language. It's a powerful tool for platform-independent client/server development. Netscape Developer's Guide to JavaScript is your complete guide to writing distributed client/server JavaScript applications that leverage the full power of Netscape Communicator 4.x and the latest Netscape servers.

Learn the fundamentals of browser-based client/server development, including the role of JavaScript, Java and HTML. Key topics covered include:

  • Techniques for integrating JavaScript with HTML
  • Signed scripts and other security techniques
  • Netscape Navigator/Communicator object hierarchies
  • JavaScript's core objects, methods and functions
  • Events, forms, windows, frames and more

You'll find detailed coverage of using LiveConnect to interface with plug-ins and Java applets, integrating JavaScript with Dynamic HTML, working with LiveWire databases, and building components using JavaScript Bean files. There's also a comprehensive guide to JavaScript development tools.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains:

  • Complete source code for more than 120 example scripts
  • NetObjects ScriptBuilder evaluation software for Windows 95/NT
  • Netscape Communicator for Windows, Mac and UNIX (???)

Sound introduction 27 May 1999
By A Customer
A sound introduction to Javascript, which brought me up to speed and covered the object model thoroughly. Also covers CSS. Now all I need is our MIS to agree to use Server-side Javascript(!)

Just to set the record straight, the book is about JavaScript 1.2 as implemented through Netscape Communicator 4.04 and Netscape servers 3.x. Furthermore, the book is closer to 800 pages long and includes a JavaScript course from CBT.

Lost this book, but don't even miss it 16 Oct 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
I left this behind in NY when I was doing web consulting.
I don't even miss it! I was using it more as a reference
when going Broadvision and DHTML programming. In the era
of Netscape 4.7, we had to workaround a lot of problems....

I find the O'reilly Javascript:
Definitive guide to be much more approachable.

Couldn't even read the whole thing 29 Feb 2000
By "lpg97" - Published on Amazon.com
I have read a plethora of programming and computer science books. This is about the worst I have read thus far. I know CS books can be dull, but this one takes the cake. The worst part is that many of the methods/functions listed don't include their parameters or an easy way to use them for reference. You need to dig through the examples to find what you're looking for. Your better off going to netscape's site and looking at their online guide. I tried to give it a chance, but after 250 pages of reading I'm putting it down for good.
