With everything developers need to know to build state-of-the-art client/server applications with JavaScript and Netscape Navigator 3.0, this book explains how to write and compile server-side JavaScript with LiveWire 1.0. It covers the fundamentals of JavaScript; discusses interfacing Java applets and JavaScript via Netscape's new Live Connect technology; and reviews client/server methodologies and the model used by http.
Back Cover Copy
Browser-based client/server is the future, and Netscape Developer's Guide to JavaScript is your roadmap for getting there.
JavaScript is more than a great standalone Web scripting language. It's a powerful tool for platform-independent client/server development. Netscape Developer's Guide to JavaScript is your complete guide to writing distributed client/server JavaScript applications that leverage the full power of Netscape Communicator 4.x and the latest Netscape servers.
Learn the fundamentals of browser-based client/server development, including the role of JavaScript, Java and HTML. Key topics covered include:
* Techniques for integrating JavaScript with HTML
* Signed scripts and other security techniques
* Netscape Navigator/Communicator object hierarchies
* JavaScript's core objects, methods and functions
* Events, forms, windows, frames and more
You'll find detailed coverage of using LiveConnect to interface with plug-ins and Java applets, integrating JavaScript with Dynamic HTML, working with LiveWire databases, and building components using JavaScript Bean files. There's also a comprehensive guide to JavaScript development tools.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains:
* Complete source code for more than 120 example scripts
* NetObjects ScriptBuilder evaluation software for Windows 95/NT
* Netscape Communicator for Windows, Mac and UNIX (???)
Customer Reviews & Comments
I have read a plethora of programming and computer science books. This is about the worst I have read thus far. I know CS books can be dull, but this one takes the cake. The worst part is that many of the methods/functions listed don't include their parameters or an easy way to use them for reference. You need to dig through the examples to find what you're looking for. Your better off going to netscape's site and looking at their online guide. I tried to give it a chance, but after 250 pages of reading I'm putting it down for good.
