Unlike most Web design and development books (which focus on either a single programming language or a single development tool that is often not available in school labs nor on students' own PCs), this text helps students develop a solid mastery of leading-edge technologies by using the many and varied development tools that are available either at school computer labs or as free Web downloads. Students thus learn step by step how to use the available or free-download trial or beta versions of Web servers and development tools to develop dynamic, interactive, data-driven Web applications with HTML, ASP, VBScript, JavaScript, and graphics and animations. The minimum hardware and software requirements are simply Windows 95 PCs and Internet access.
