This innovative new book in the Deitel's How to Program series offers an alternative to traditional introductory programming courses. The fundamentals of programming no longer have to be taught in languages like C, C++, and Java. With Internet/Web markup languages (such as HTML, Dynamic HTML, and XML) and scripting languages (such as JavaScript® and VBScript®), one can teach the fundamentals of programming "wrapped in the Web page metaphor." The book offers a thorough treatment of programming concepts, with programs that yield visible or audible results in Web pages and Web-based applications. The book discusses effective Web page design, server- and client-side scripting, ActiveX® controls, and the essentials of electronic commerce.
