Customer Reviews

Lots of info!... But maybe just a little too much

Jamsa did an excellent job of explaining the workings and architecture of the Internet in this book. Although a definite downside is the fact that he talks about HTML, CGI (mostly in PERL and a little in C), VRML, JAVA, JavaScript, and VBScript; he also discusses how to write your own browser in C and an HTML server. This all gets a bit cluttered which is really the reason why I have to knock off a few points for trying to do to much in one book. Another draw back is that C programming discussions in this book are designed for Microsoft Visual C++, myself being a Borland C++ user I was kind of disappointed.

To-the-Point Web Development Overview ...

If you're looking for a nuts and bolts look at Internet programming platforms then this book is for you. It's an easy read with solid coverage of all the major players in Internet Development. The Doctor (in this case also the outhor, Kris Jamsa, Ph.d.) has "devilvered the goods". Get your hands on a copy of this well crafted text. Its a great addition to the bookshelf of anyone who has always wondered what HTML, VRML, J++, C++, VB, VB Script have in common... or, perhaps more importantly, what makes each one unique and how we can all make use of them to bring style to our "Internet Interactions"
