How the Web Works - An Introduction

This book explains what the Web is and how to write web pages. It also covers topics like what the Internet is, how it works, what webservers are and how to administer them, in some detail. There are chapters on writing HTML (webpages), Perl CGIs and webpage forms, and some basic JavaScripts. Since this is an introductory book, it does not cover more advanced webpage tools like CSS, PHP and Flash. The information provided is, however, sufficient for you to build an attractive and functional website for deployment on a Mac OS X, Linux or UNIX server.
