In this book, we present the technologies used in server-side Web programming. We start by explaining the basic HTTP protocol, used to transport data over the Web between the server and the user.
Some classic techniques have laid the foundations of Web programming. These, such as the CGI gateway, servlets and JSP (Java Server Page), are presented to program services that extend the functions of Web servers.
Facilitating the sharing of data between different platforms, XML is an extensible language that is very present today in e-commerce and telecommunications. We also present the JSON notation, a more recent alternative to XML that we can manipulate using PHP.
Increasingly popular in Web application development, the PHP language is a fundamental part of this book. Using a MySQL database, we'll see how a simple Web site can become dynamic.
Finally, based on the PHP language, we present the CakePHP environment as an example of an MVC platform that facilitates the rapid development of Web applications.
All these technologies are illustrated with live examples.
