Preface
This book is for everyone who works on the content end of the World Wide Web. Do you author or maintain web documents? Do you write CGI scripts? Are you a programmer developing web-based client or server applications? Are you the administrator of a web site, responsible for maintaining and updating the server software?
There are innumerable books and online resources for learning web-related skills. What this book does is pare them down to a single desktop-sized volume for easy reference. You may be a whiz at CGI programming but forget the syntax for sending cookies. You may know HTML fairly well but can never remember the correct syntax for creating tables. You might forget the directive for creating directory aliases on your server or how to enforce password protection on documents.
By no means is this book a replacement for more detailed books on the Web. But when those books have been digested and placed on your bookshelves with pride, this one will remain on your desktop.
