Web development Pt.1
Last year I was just a windows application developer my knowledge of web application development was next to nothing. So I decided to improve my skills on that area. I was confused because there are so many technologies at work together on a web page, I understood that to become a skillful web programmer you must master several technologies.
The first technology I tackled was XHTML I’m really ashamed by saying that after all these years of programming I never find myself eager enough to learn XHTML which is fairly simple to understand and use. Anyway I must thank Mr. Jon Duckett for writing an excellent and comprehensive book about XHTML called “Beginning XHTML, HTML, CSS and JavaScript”.
The next technology I started to examine was a client side scripting language named JavaScript. Many think that JavaScript is not a programming language, but a scripting language, which I cannot be more disagree. Just because it’s not compiled but interpret doesn’t mean it is powerless. I recently understood that JavaScript is not just a client side scripting language, but just a portion of it is for client side scripting. You can use JavaScript to script windows tasks and even your own programs. The book I read is titled “JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition” by David Flanagan.
