Summary: Easy to learn from this book!
Review: Marty Hall has written the best non-advanced web programming book I have ever utilized. The detailed examples are great. The cd-rom that holds all of his examples is very helpful. You don't have to be any web guru to follow this book! It really works!

Summary: Excellent overview of a very dynamic subject.
Review: Marty Hall's book is an excellent resource for computer science folks who are interested in developing software on the World Wide Web. If your an experienced programmer, but haven't had the time to figure out how your Web Browser works, this is the book for you! Core Web Programming contains an overview of everything you need to know to launch into the wonderful world of Web Pages, Java applications and applets, CGI programming, and Java Script. This is a "must have" for every computer scientist's bookshelf!

Summary: Excellent: covers everything important about web programming
Review: The wonder of this book is that it manages to cram everything that's important about web design and development between two covers. I found it to be an excellent source as both a tutorial and a reference; it invariably provided answers to all my questions and solutions to all my problems, and did so in a concise, insightful, and easy-to-read manner. The battered condition of my copy, its well-thumbed pages and smudged margins are testaments to its utility as a web reference. Highly recommended for the novice just moving into the realm of web development as well as the expert who has lived there for some time.

Summary: Focuses on a good perspective of Web programming
Review: This is a "must have " book for people that having certain interests an experience on Internet programming, want a globalized perspective , whithout losing a in-certain-depth view.

Summary: Comprehensive
Review: This book has the needed information required for developing a web site. This book is all that is required to start up a web site (as far as web programming goes). If you are searching for a book to suit your needs, this one will do it. The author was even kind enough to reply to my questions, which is rare among authors!

Summary: An excellent overall web programming book.
Review: Have you ever developed a web page on a particular browser only to find when viewed on another browswer you get a javascript error? This book not only helps you avoid these problems but also explains the differences (compatability issues) between Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator(communicator) all through the book. Overall the book contains everything you need to write a web based application. Everything is here from HTML, CGI, Java and Javascript along with a CD containing source code and examples. Why bother buying 4 books when this book has a good deal of information on all four topics described. I am studing an MSc in Computers and have purchased 12 books during my study, this book has been the one I keep coming back to when I need help. Buy it.

Summary: If you are lazy and want CGI in Java....
Review: ... then this is the book. It's very good and the source code I have downloaded worked in a snap. It is really good for a someone who wants to get things done in a snap. Also, the author replied to my email right away on some technical questions. Thank you Marty!!

Summary: Great if you're experienced ... pass it up if your not
Review: The author gives a lot of examples and does a good job of explaining what individual lines of code do. However, if you have never programmed in Java, JavaScript, or CGI before, editing the source code to make the programs do what you want is going to be a huge challenge. It's not impossible, but you need a lot of dedication and a good background in a programming language to get through it. If you learn best by step-by-step examples and doing exercies, this probably isn't the book for you. As the cover states, it is definately a "hardcore" book for "serious programmers." If you want a book that breaks programming code down into it's individual components and tells you what each of those components do - this is a good book to have on the shelf.

Summary: Very conceptual book
Review: CWB is wonderful book. I look through a lot of similar books and did not find anything which might be compared to it. It really makes difference by its conceptual orientation backed up with illustrative examples. Currently I am in the middle of this book and I have feeling that I am moving in right direction.

Summary: All in one resource pit-stop.
Review: Wish I would have purchased this title from Amazon... I just paid $50.00+ for this title at a local book store. :( I have found that this book not only reflects the needs of the big $$$ WebMasters.. But also us "want'a be" masters also! If your going to be making web pages.. Even with a store bought editor.. This is a MUST have behind the scenes look at what really goes on! I would consider this to be a GREAT tool for anyone wanting to start their own WWW page or inhouse Intranet. T. May,HCDHS IS Dept, Cin.,Oh. END
