Full Description

First, there was HTML. Then along came JavaScript. Close on the heels of JavaScript came CSS and before you mastered that, along came XML. Behind every successful web page is an overworked and underappreciated webmaster with a big pile of books about various web technologies spilling out across their desk. That collection of books is a valuable resource for delving into the topics at depth (and at leisure). But when you need an answer fast, the dog-eared book you'll turn to again and again is the new third edition of Webmaster in a Nutshell. This concise and portable quick reference distills an immense amount of information on several languages and technologies into one compact reference book. This is one book that will pay for itself a thousand times over in time saved and increased productivity. Webmaster in a Nutshell puts a fast-paced introduction, detailed reference section, and quick reference guide to each technology all within easy reach. It's packed full of the genuinely useful information a webmaster needs daily, whatever the technology, including:
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • XML
  • CGI
  • JavaScript
  • HTTP
  • PHP
  • Apache
This thorough, clear, and accessible reference makes it easy to find the information you want about the technologies you use. You'll keep your other books on the shelf; you'll keep Webmaster in a Nutshell next to your keyboard.

Webmaster in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition Review,  June 30 2003
Rating: StarStarStarStarStar
Submitted by Rizwan Ahmed from the Columbia Java Users Group   [Respond | View]

This terrific reference book condenses the material of at least five huge volumes on Web site construction into a single small one. It doesn't teach how to develop and maintain a Web site, but it puts all the commands, syntax information, and related knowledge where you can find them quickly. Sections cover HTML, CGI, HTTI, JavaScript, and server configurations. Each section begins with a brief overview of the topic then follows with a series of well-organized lists, charts, and other reminders to help you rapidly find forgotten bit of information.

Webmaster in a Nutshell contains the nitty gritty on everything you need to know to design, construct, maintain and administer a web site. Its the good stuff written and organized so that answers can be found easily. You will learn the basics of HTML, JavaScript, CGI/PERL, PHP, CSS and Apache Web Server and for an introduction about Web Design (HTML/CSS), Web Development (PHP, CGI/PERL).

This portable and well written quick reference distills an immense amount of information on several languages and technologies into one compact reference book. This is one book that will pay for itself a thousand times over in time saved and increased productivity.

Media reviews "The Internet programmer's bible reincarnated! Linux Format Rating: 10/10."
--Amias Channer, "Linux Format," July 2003

"A dense reference manual is one that has a wealth of information that's easily accessible in a small volume. A dense reference manual is one that will fit in your briefcase. These do. 'Dense' is good. Is it time for the titles? 'Webmaster in a Nutshell' is one. The other is 'Web Design in a Nutshell.' I've read a lot of books over the years, but these two are indispensable. I take them home. I take them back to the office. I read them in bed. (OK. You already knew I was a geek, but this is stretching it even for geeks. I have, though, read them in bed.)...a near-perfect reference."
