It covers everything in a practical, tutorial style so you can start working on your own projects as quickly as possible.
|Many of today´s web development books and articles cover single aspects of the development life cycle, delving only into specific features rather than looking at the whole picture. In this book, we will develop a complete web application. Although we will be using various third-party libraries and tools to aid in development, we will be developing the application from start to finish. The focus of this book is on Web 2. 0, a catchphrase that has been in use for a few years now and is typically used to refer to web sites or web applications that have particular char- teristics. Some of these characteristics include the following: - Correctly using HTML/XHTML, CSS, and other standards - Using Ajax (Asynchronous Javaillegalscript and XML) to provide a responsive application without requiring a full refresh of pages - Allowing syndication of web site content using RSS - Adding wikis, blogs, or tags Although not everybody is an advocate of the "Web 2. 0” phrase, the term does signify forward progress in web development. And although not everybody has the need to provide a wiki or a blog on their web site, the other characteristics listed (such as correct standards usage) provide a good basis for a web site and should be used by all developers, regardless of how they want their web site or application categorized. I wrote this book because I want to share with other users how I build web sites.|
There are many technologies that go into creating a successful modern web application, but few books that cover how to effectively use them all together. Practical PHP Web 2.0 Applications does just that. It marries together PHP and MySQL, XHTML, CSS, and Javaillegalscript/Ajax, covering how to create a cutting edge PHP web application from planning and design right up to final implementation. The book coves such key application features as search, maps, blogs, dynamic image galleries, and more.
Practical PHP Web 2.0 Applications gets to the real meat as quickly as possible, assuming readers already know all the language basics and implementation details. It is ideal for any PHP developer who wants to stay ahead of the curve, with practical, high-level web application development techniques.
