This is Chapter 8, Web Applications, from Web Design: A Complete Introduction. This chapter introduces the topic of server-side scripting, which is used to generate Web pages dynamically.
Page numbering in this chapter follows that of the printed book, for purposes of cross-reference.
In this chapter we survey the languages and frameworks commonly used for performing server-side computation and generating Web pages dynamically. Often, the content of dynamically-generated pages is stored in a database, so we include a short introduction to conventional database technology and SQL. Some examples of server-side programming in PHP are described in detail.
Topics covered in this chapter include:
- Server-Side Technologies
- Ready-Made Applications
- Databases
- Dynamically Generated Pages
This chapter also includes Key Points and end of chapter exercises. Sample answers to the Test Questions can be found on the book’s support site.
