Publisher's Synopsis
Written for professional software developers this book maps out the client-side issues that every Web application programmer needs to know. It provides comprehensive coverage on all aspects of client-side Web development, from the basics of HTML to client-side scripting to XML, XSL, and SOAP. In doing so, Kurata provides an essential balance to the server-side techniques, such as database access and server component development. These client-side techniques enable Web application developers to offload work to the client computer, improving scalability by reducing server requests, while simultaneously offering a richer user experience. To that end, this book is indispensable reading for any software developer interested in up-to-date coverage of the essentials of web development.
