Book description

The informality, ease, and rapid development cycle of scripting languages make them well suited to the constant change common to most web sites. This issue of the World Wide Web Journal, Scripting Languages: Automating the Web, guides developers and users in choosing and deploying scripting solutions such as JavaScript, Perl, VB, Python, and Win-CGI. It also includes discussion of web database connectivity with scripting languages, CGI programming, and an in-depth interview with Perl developers Larry Wall and Tom Christiansen.
Full Description

In spite of all the power built into popular web utilities, the informality, ease, and rapid development cycle of scripting languages make them well suited to the constant change common to most web sites. Scripting Languages: Automating the Web guides users and developers in choosing and deploying scripting solutions. End users benefit from client-side scripting to make pages livelier, to automate form-filling, and to accelerate web user interfaces like live select-box widgets. Even the most basic web server software has scripting gateways to create more active web content. Server-side includes and markup allow servers to customize pages on-the-fly. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) hooks allow developers to create entire pages and graphics under program control. This issue of the World Wide Web Journal explores how users can add scriptable and extensible behavior to the Web in a variety of ways. For example, within the web client user interface, we offer articles on JavaScript (Nick Heinle), Python (Guido van Rossum), and VBScript (Paul Lomax). Next, within the web server programming interface, see Lincoln Stein's article on exploring CGI with Perl, Ron Petrusha's "Why WIN-CGI?", and Clint Wong's description of LWP -- the library modules for WWW access in Perl. Finally, as a back-end gateway to other services, are articles on World Wide Web gateways (Shishir Gundavaram) and web database connectivity with scripting (Peter Lazar). In addition, this issue examines the web-wide impact of Perl as the scripting language of choice for webmasters everywhere, with an in-depth article featuring Perl developers Larry Wall and Tom Christiansen.

Media reviews

"This book is a publication of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the organization responsible for the original spreadsheet standards research and development for the Web. The book covers a range of subjects, concerning technological aspects of building powerful, lively, efficient, and versatile information systems, guiding users and developers in choosing and deploying scripting solutions. It overviews and summarizes the work in progress of W3C testifying that, in fact, gateways and automated information services are a critical element of the Web. In context of this book, W3C focuses onhorizontal enabling technology - such as how to embed any script in HTML - rather then vertical languages and tools.

"The issue records the W3C work and publishes timely, state-of-the-art articles from the wider Web community. The strong point of this book is that it presents work at each of the several automatable "pivot points", concerning the possibility of adding scriptable and extensive behavior to the Web in the following ways:

1. As a user front-end 2. Within the Web client-user interface 3. Within the Web server programming interface 4. As a back-end gateway to other services
