After completing this self-contained course on server-based Internet                  applications software, students who start with only the knowledge of how to write                  and debug a computer program will have learned how to build web-based applications                  on the scale of Amazon.com. Unlike the desktop applications that most students have                  already learned to build, server-based applications have multiple simultaneous                  users. This fact, coupled with the unreliability of networks, gives rise to the                  problems of concurrency and transactions, which students learn to manage by using                  the relational database system.After working their way to the end of the book,                  students will have the skills to take vague and ambitious specifications and turn                  them into a system design that can be built and launched in a few months. They will                  be able to test prototypes with end-users and refine the application design. They                  will understand how to meet the challenge of extreme business requirements with                  automatic code generation and the use of open-source toolkits where appropriate.                  Students will understand HTTP, HTML, SQL, mobile browsers, VoiceXML, data modeling,                  page flow and interaction design, server-side scripting, and usability analysis.The                  book, which originated as the text for an MIT course, is suitable for classroom use                  and will be a useful reference for software professionals developing multi-user                  Internet applications. It will also help managers evaluate such commercial software                  as Microsoft Sharepoint of Microsoft Content Management Server.
