Developing Databases For the Web and Intranets
reviewed by
Charlie Morris
This is a guide to setting up databases on the Web. Why is this one of the hottest fields on the scene today?
October 27, 1998
Author John Rodley starts off with three good reasons why so many folks are making a fine living putting databases up on the Web:
- A potential audience of millions of Internet users.
- A standard user-interface shell: the Web browser.
- A ready-to-use pipeline from the database machine to the user's browser.
400 meaty pages take you through all the major steps of Webbing up your database. Note that the main emphasis here is not on dynamic Web sites (driven by databases), but on creating Web interfaces for existing databases.
There are plenty of code examples, appropriate illustrations, and a helpful "Webliography" of apropos URLs at the end of each chapter.
Chapters include:
- Getting Started
- A Passive-View, Read-Only Database
- Creating HTML on the Fly
- The Example Database in Action
- An Active-View, Client-Server Database
- Accepting Input via the Web
- Security
- Operational Issues
