The World Wide Web, the first global networked information service that is truly friendly, is probably the fastest growing technological phenomenon in the history of the human race (except maybe gambling).

These topics are covered throughout 21 lessons; hence the title, Teach Yourself Internet Game Programming with Java in 21 Days! Over a three-week period, you move from learning the fundamentals of Java game programming to writing three complete games and a variety of other sample applets. The sample games include high-speed animation, sound, and network support for multiple players. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to build your own Internet Java games from scratch. By the way, all you need to build the sample games is the Java Developer's Kit, which is included on the CD-ROM. Good luck and have fun…I sure did!

This specification defines the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), version 4.0, the publishing language of the World Wide Web. In addition to the text, multimedia, and hyperlink features of the previous versions of HTML, HTML 4.0 supports more multimedia options, scripting languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and documents that are more accessible to users with disabilities. HTML 4.0 also takes great strides towards the internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly World Wide.

The Internet is an all pervasive entity in today’s world of computing. To cope with the "wild" Internet, several security mechanisms were developed, among them access controls, authentication schemes and firewalls, as one of the most secure methods. However, firewall means different things for different people. Consider the fable from India about the blind men and the elephant. Each blind man touched a different part of the elephant and came up with a totally different description. The blind man who touched the elephant’s legs described it as being similar to a tree. Another blind man touched the tail and decided an elephant was like a twig. Yet another grabbed the trunk and concluded an elephant was like a snake. To some computer professionals, even to some of those in charge of Internet security, firewalls are just "walls of fire" blocking hackers outside of it. To some others, it is only a form of authentication mechanism. Some other folks consider firewalls to be synonymous with routers. Obviously, a firewall is much more than any of these individually. The problem is only compounded by the fact that for a lot of computer and security professionals, firewalls was touched upon only fleetingly in their academic career, worse, they bumped into it at the computer room. Also, a lot of the important parts and features of firewall are recent innovations, and thus were never covered in an academic career or most of the 1995-1996 firewall books at all, which further aggravates the problem as of right now there is no one single book these professionals can turn to. Their only resource is to peruse a wide array of literature including textbooks, web pages, computer magazines, white papers, etc. This book, the Complete Firewall Handbook, aims to become your companion book, the one you will always want to carry with you, as it does claim to be complete! I can assure you, there may be some similar books on the market, but none is complete as this one, none provides a reference guide as this one. The other titles I know are either discussing a specific technology and strategy or a product. Although you can compare this book to those, as it also covers the firewall technologies, strategies and all the main firewall products on the market, this one goes beyond the scope of the other ones. In addition, it provides a complete reference guide of the various protocols, including the upcoming ones (IPV6, for example) and how firewalling fits into it. In fact, this book adds a next level to your expertise by discussing all the components that makes the Internet, and any other network for that matter, unsecured: it discuss and describes in details all the protocols, standards and APIs used on internetworking, as well as the security mechanisms, from cryptograph to firewalls. Later on the book there is a "reference" section with a complete review of the major firewall products available on the market to date, a selection of tools, applications and many firewall demos and evaluations, which were all bundled together on the CD the accompanies this book. This book is aimed primarily to network administrators, including Web, systems, LAN and WAN Administrators. But it is also target to the new breed of professionals, the so called Internet Managers, as well as to anyone in need of a complete reference book in firewalls. As you read this book you will notice that what separates it from others is that this one is comprehensive, and gives the technical information necessary to understand, choose, install, maintain e foresee future needs involving firewalls and security at a very informal level. It has a conversational style with practical information, tips and cautions, to help the Internet, network and security administrator to cope, and "survive," their tasks and responsibilities. As important as implementing firewalls at your site, it must be preceded of a security policy that takes in consideration services to be blocked and allowed. It should also consider implementation of authentication and encryption devices and the level of risks you are willing to undertake in order to be connected to the Internet. This book will discuss all of these topics and the issues it brings up when dealing with site security and administration. It will go over all the services, such as TELNET, FTP, Web, e-mail, news, etc.

PNG, the Portable Network Graphics image format, is one little piece of the puzzle. In PNG: The Definitive Guide, I attempt to make PNG a little less puzzling by explaining the motivations behind PNG's creation, the ways in which it can be used, and the tools that can manipulate it. The intended audience is anyone who deals with PNG images, whether as an artist, a programmer, or a surfer on the World Wide Web.

This book is for those of you who have started working with Java and have realized that you want to develop multithreaded applications and applets. I don’t assume that you know anything about thread programming, so the book starts off with simple, straightforward examples. From there, the chapters become more advanced and comprehensively cover all aspects of thread programming in Java. The second part of the book is dedicated to demonstrating various advanced techniques that can be used in the real world. Chapters 1 through 10 can be read in order because each chapter builds upon the concepts in the preceding one. You can hop around the techniques in Chapters 11 through 18, reading them in just about any order. Some of the techniques are so valuable that they are used in demonstrating other techniques, so you can read up on each technique as you come across it.

The first edition of CGI Programming on the World Wide Web was published in early 1996. The Web was very different then: the number of web hosts was 100,000, Netscape Navigator 2.0 (the first JavaScript-enabled browser) was released, and Java was less than a year old and was used primarily for applets. The Web was still young, but it was developing quickly. In 1996, CGI was the only stable and well-understood method for creating dynamic content on the Web. However, very few sites exploited its full potential. In the first edition, Shishir wrote: Today's computer users expect custom answers to particular questions. Gone are the days when people were satisfied by the computing center staff passing out a single, general report to all users. Instead, each salesperson, manager, and engineer wants to enter specific queries and get up-to-date responses. And if a single computer can do that, why not the Web? This is the promise of CGI. You can display sales figures for particular products month by month, as requested by your staff, using beautiful pie charts or plots. You can let customers enter keywords in order to find information on your products. In 1996, these were bold claims. Today, they describe business as usual. That promise of CGI has certainly been fulfilled. This book is about more than writing CGI scripts. It is about programming for the Web. Although we focus on CGI programming with Perl (thus the title change for this edition), many of the concepts we cover are common to all server-side web development. Even if you find yourself working with alternative technologies down the road, the effort you invest learning CGI now will continue to yield value later.

В книге рассматриваются две взаимосвязанные технологии - поиск информации и продвижение сайтов. Изложение указанных вопросов основывается на достаточно детальном описании структуры документов Интернета на базе языка разметки гипертекстов, а также основных принципах работы поисковых серверов, без знания которых невозможен ни эффективный поиск информации в Интенете, ни эффективное рекламирование сайтов. Автор также детально анализирует некоторые распространённые ошибочные стратегии рекламирования сайтов. Значительное внимание в книге уделено мало освещённым в современной отечественной и переводной литературе вопросам - поиску и рекламированию документов Интернета через сервисы электронной почты, что особенно актуально в связи с реальным переходом на повременную форму оплаты телефонных услуг.

Apache, MySQL, PHP3, and IMP the pieces exist. Each piece has been described ad nauseam. What does not exist is a guide to the marriage of these software technologies into a useful book, until now. This book puts together information on installing, setting up, and troubleshooting each of these technologies into one complete volume. You also learn how each piece is part of a whole by learning, step-by-step, how to create a web-based e-mail system. Learn to run the Linux equivalent of Active Server Pages (ASP) using PHP3, set up an e-commerce site using a database and the Apache web server, and create a data entry system (such as sales, product quality tracking, customer preferences, etc) that requires no installation in the PC.

All web programmers, administrators, and application developers need to be familiar with HTTP in order to work effectively. The HTTP Pocket Reference provides a solid conceptual foundation of HTTP, and also serves as a quick reference to each of the headers and status codes that compose an HTTP transaction. For those who need to get "beyond the browser," this book is the place to start.

For courses in XML and web development. XML By Example uses short examples throughout the book to teach important XML concepts. It assumes students have knowledge of HTML, the Internet and Web scripting.

Книга, которую вы держите в руках, возникла из курса лекций, читаемых автором в течение последних лет для студентов младших курсов. Подобные книги рождаются после того, как студенты в сотый раз зададут один и тот же вопрос, который лектор уже несколько раз разъяснял в разных вариациях. Возникает желание отослать их к какой-нибудь литературе. Пересмотрев еще раз несколько десятков книг, использованных при подготовке лекций, порывшись в библиотеке и на прилавках книжных магазинов, лектор с удивлением обнаруживает, что не может предложить студентам ничего подходящего. Остается сесть за стол и написать книгу самому. Такое происхождение книги накладывает на нее определенные особенности. Она представляет собой сгусток практического опыта, накопленного автором и его студентами с 1996 г. Cодержит ответы на часто задаваемые вопросы, последние "компьютерщики" называют FAQ (Frequency Asked Questions)
