Database-Driven Web Sites

Rating:
Summary: Push technology from your desktop
Review: The state-of-the-art technology dealt in this book goes far beyond the act of providing hyperlinks & Meta tags. In late 1990s emerged client-server technology and dynamic web sites, which enabled creating a new trend, that is, Web-accessible databases. With this level of extensive advancement, today's Web architecture can easily facilitate both online and onsite access.

Database-Driven Web Sites is a useful resource and empowers "librarians to create new services that would be impossible with strictly HTML-based web sites, so along with advice from professionals, Database-Driven Web Sites offers you practical tips for managing complex projects and includes numerous links to online resources and software". This documentation strategy in developing an innovative interface is the strongest link of the book. Librarians and information professionals looking for hands-on experience directly from on-site project managers will get in this book a lot of useful information.

Hence, I strongly recommend this as a handy reference book on library's infostructure. It is also useful for developmental perspectives in Web-based architecture, database design and information infrastructure
