Building B2B Applications with XML: A Resource Guide
by Michael Fitzgerald
Building B2B Applications with XML: A Resource Guide can really help you get the ball rolling with an XML-based business-to-business (B2B) solution. Aimed at both managerial decision makers and developers alike, it includes a broad survey of XML and related technologies that can help you create data interchange systems that are designed from the get-go for longevity. Learn about existing XML vocabularies that may be helpful, such as ebXML, xCBL, and cXML. There's also coverage of the important SOAP communication protocol and Microsoft's B2B framework, BizTalk.


Java Servlet Programming (2nd Edition)
by Jason Hunter, William Crawford(Contributor)
Jason Hunter's Java Servlet Programming, Second Edition, in particular illuminates the dark recesses of XML deployment descriptors, Tomcat 3.2, J2EE, the Tea and WebMacro frameworks, WAP, XMLC, and the changes from JSDK 1.0 to 2.2. Every topic is accompanied by working code snippets, and often the code builds on itself so that the would-be servlet programmer can participate in the development of complex applications from simple beginnings. I say "nearly up-to-date" because Tomcat 4.0 beta, incorporating JSDK 2.3, has been released, and to Jason's credit, he devotes an entire chapter to 2.3. This is about as current as hard copy gets these days! --A customer from Annapolis, MD


JavaScript Programmer's Reference (includes CD/e-book)
by Cliff Wootton
Looking for an A to Z reference to JavaScript that you can rely on for a complete summary of syntax and compatibility? That's exactly what you'll find in this simple but powerful book. JavaScript Programmer's Reference explores all of the elements of the JavaScript language in an alphabetic presentation of each object, along with its description, compatibility, syntax, and inheritance diagrams. The CD-ROM includes a very useful HTML version of the book with even more detail and the added benefit of hyperlinked cross-references. This definitive reference will eliminate JavaScript mysteries for you.

What Web Development Gurus Will Be Reading Next

CSS Pocket Reference
by Eric A. Meyer
The CSS Pocket Reference briefly introduces CSS and then lists all CSS1 properties, plus the CSS1 pseudo-elements and pseudo-classes. Since browser incompatibility is the biggest obstacle to CSS adoption, we've also included a comprehensive guide to how the browsers have implemented support for CSS1. For anyone who wants to correctly implement CSS, this is a handy condensed reference to all the details in the larger volume, Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide. --From the publisher

It also contains complete WAP server-side applications built with four leading tools: ASP, Perl, JSP, and Servlets--all viewable and downloadable on the Web.

They cover the most commonly used WML elements, attributes, variables, and task and event elements; show how to use graphics effectively in wireless applications; and present practical techniques for maximizing WAP security. The book concludes with a preview of WAP's future--a future of richer content and more interactive applications. --From the publisher

Suggested Reading
PHP and MySQL Web Development
by Luke Welling, Laura Thomson
The PHP server-side scripting language and the MySQL database management system (DBMS) make a potent pair. Both are open-source products--free of charge for most purposes--remarkably strong, and capable of handling all but the most enormous transaction loads. Both are supported by large, skilled, and enthusiastic communities of architects, programmers, and designers. PHP and MySQL Web Development introduces readers (who are assumed to have little or no experience with the title subjects) to PHP and MySQL for the purpose of creating dynamic Internet sites. It teaches the same skills as introductory Active Server Pages (ASP) and ColdFusion books--technologies that address the same niche.
