HTML and XML for Beginners

HTML and XML for Beginners 

By: Michael Morrison

A 1999 study of 25,500 words from a standard English-language dictionary found that 93 percent of them have been registered as dot-com addresses. Even if you’re not dreaming of creating the next big dot-com, you’ve more than likely realized that Web pages are in your future. Along with this insight, you’ve probably come to understand that HTML is an acronym that has much to do with Web pages. As you may already know, HTML is one of a long string of acronyms that litter the landscape of the Web. If it’s one thing techies love, it’s a good acronym and the more letters, the better. Although many people would like to believe that HTML really stands for Help Transmit My Love, it doesn’t. The real meaning of those magical letters is HyperText Markup Language, which is more accurate but has considerably less sizzle than the love version. [download]

Beginning Joomla 

By: Dan Rahmel 

I’m more excited about Joomla than any other web product I’ve seen in years. Joomla exploded onto the web scene in 2005 and drastically simplified web design, development deployment, and maintenance. It’s also done its fair share to beautify the web world. By using Joomla, you can instantly banish ugly, poorly structured interfaces from your web sites even the default installation shown in Figure 1-1 shows how pleasing a Joomla web site can look. Adding content or updating the design of your entire web site is a snap . . . and that’s just for openers! This book will guide you through nearly every aspect of the Joomla system, from basic deployment to writing your own extensions. By the time you’ve reached the last page, you’ll be able to make Joomla do almost anything that a manually designed web site can do and in a fraction of the time.  [download]

Agile Web Development with Rails

Agile Web Development with Rails 

By: Sam Ruby, Dave Thomas and David Heinemeier Hansson

Ruby on Rails is a framework that makes it easier to develop, deploy, and maintain web applications. During the months that followed its initial release, Rails went from being an unknown toy to being a worldwide phenomenon. It has won awards, and, more important, it has become the framework of choice for the implementation of a wide range of so-called Web 2.0 applications. It isn’t just trendy among hard-core hackers: many multinational companies are using Rails to create their web applications. Why is that? There seem to be many reasons. First, there seemed to be a large number of developers who were frustrated with the technologies they were using to create web applications. It didn’t seem to matter whether they were using Java, PHP, or NET there was a growing sense that their job was just too damn hard. And then, suddenly, along came Rails, and Rails is easier.

Foundations for The Web of Information and Services

Foundations for The Web of Information and Services 

By: Dieter Fensel

It is hard to know who first had the idea of creating a language on the World Wide Web that could be used to express the domain knowledge needed to improve Web applications. By the mid 1990s, before most people even knew the Web existed, several research groups were playing with the idea that if web markup (it was all HTML back then) contained some machine readable “hints” to the computer, then we could do a better job of Web tasks like search, query, and faceted browsing. It’s important to note that at that time, the potential power of the Web was still being debated, and there were many who were sure it would fail. However, by 1997 or so, it was clear theWeb was going to be around for a while, and there was a burst of energy going on. [download]

Web Accessibility

Web Accessibility 

By: Simon Harper and Yeliz Yesilada

Web accessibility conjures the vision of designers, technologists, and researchers valiantly making the World Wide Web (Web) open to disabled users. While this maybe true in part, the reality is a little different. Indeed, Web accessibility is actually about achieving two complementary objectives: (1) reverse engineering and design rediscovery correcting our past mistakes by making the current Web fulfil the original Web vision of access for all and (2) the discovery and understanding of factors which influence the accessibility of the Web within the context of the human interaction. It just so happens that in the process of trying to achieve these objectives, that have for the most part been ignored, we may understand and even solve, a number of larger scale usability issues faced by every Web user.

Computer Forensics: Investigating Data and Image File

Computer Forensics: Investigating Data and Image File 

By: EC. Council

Steganography is the practice of embedding hidden messages within a carrier medium. Mathematicians, military personnel, and scientists have used it for centuries. The use of steganography dates back to ancient Egypt. Today steganography, in its digital form, is widely used on the Internet and in a variety of multimedia forms. Modern steganography works by replacing bits of useless or unused data in regular computer files with bits of different, invisible information. When a file cannot be encrypted, the next best option for safe transfer is steganography. Steganography can also be used to supplement encryption. When used in this manner, steganography provides a double measure of protection, as the encrypted file, once deciphered, will not allow a message hidden by steganography to be seen. The receiver of the file has to use special software to decipher a message hidden by steganography. [download]

U.S. Government on The Web

U.S. Government on The Web 

By: Peter Hernon

The federal government routinely “collects, maintains, uses, disseminates, saves, loses, and destroys vast quantities of information,”¹ a large portion of which is or may become public assuming it has not been lost or destroyed. Public information includes information products that the government imparts on its own initiative or that is required to release (e.g., through the Freedom of Information Act; FOIA), whereas nonpublic information is meant solely for use within government and is not for public consumption. Because it is held in confidence, for example, for reasons of predecision, security, or personal privacy, or protective stipulations in administrative or statutory law, nonpublic information is not released under the FOIA or other “open government” laws. Public information comes from not only government bodies located in the nation’s capital, but also regional offices of federal departments and agencies located throughout the United States as well as branch offices located in other countries.

The Web Book

The Web Book

By: Robert Schifreen

There’s yet another way to create web pages, and that’s to write the text with a word processor such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer and then use the “save as web page” feature to create files which you can put online. This is often a tempting option, because a) it looks to be very easy, and b) lots of people write documents with a word processor and then realise that they’d actually quite like to publish them online. The trouble is, the “save as web page” feature in Microsoft Word, including the most recent version, is horrible. It produces pages which contain ten times as much information as is strictly necessary. Which means that they’ll take up ten times the space on your server, take your visitors ten times as long to download, and cost people ten times as much if they’re accessing your site via mobile broadband or some other metered or pay-per-megabyte connection. Seriously, don’t do it.  [download]

E-Commerce and Web Technologies 

Edited By: Mark Tovey

Weblogs have emerged as a new communication and publication medium on the Internet for diffusing the latest useful information. Blog articles represent the opinions of the population and react to current events (e.g., news) on the Internet. Most people read blogs because it is a new source of news. Looking for what is the latest popular issue discussed by blogs and attracting readers’ attention is an interesting subject. Moreover, providing value-added mobile services such as blog articles is increasingly important to attract mobile users to mobile commerce, to benefit from the proliferation and convenience of using mobile devices to receive information anytime and anywhere. There are, however, a tremendous number of blog articles, and mobile users generally have difficulty in browsing weblogs owing to the limitations of mobile devices such as small screens, short usage time and poor input mechanisms.

The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

By: Jason Beaird

For many web developers, myself included, the most intimidating part of the design process is getting started. Imagine for a moment that you’re sitting at your desk with nothing other than a cup of coffee and the business card of a potential client who needs a basic corporate website. Usually, a business card speaks volumes about a company’s identity, and can be used as design inspiration. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with the card for Smith’s Services in this book. It’s black and white, all text, no character, blah. Talk about a blank canvas! So, where do you go from here? You need a plan … and you need to contact Mr. Smith. With some critical input from the client about what his company actually does, and by gathering information about the content you have to work with, you’ll be able to come up with a successful layout and design.
