Product Review
This brief 316-page guide, authored by two technology gurus intimately familiar with Netscape servers, covers the essentials of server-side JavaScript (SSJS)--the flavor of the scripting language that enables sophisticated Web applications on Netscape servers. Organized in a simple, topical manner, Server-Side JavaScript: Developing Integrated Web Applications is a quick read for developers with previous scripting experience.
In the opening chapters, the authors discuss the three-tier server architecture, the client and server versions of JavaScript, and how SSJS fits into the Netscape architecture and its companion technology, LiveWire. They present a sample SSJS application early in the book to give the reader a taste of how the language works in a real-world environment. In succeeding chapters, the book illustrates how to manage state, forms, and databases using SSJS--with a very generous collection of sample code. Local file I/O and interfacing with external Java applications through LiveConnect are also presented in a straightforward "here's how you do it" style.
The excellent mail facilities of SSJS are addressed in their own chapter with plenty of examples. Advanced topics such as interfacing with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Netscape Application Servers are covered as well, though existing knowledge in those areas is helpful. A companion CD-ROM contains the source code, plus reference material to round out this practical guide for Webmasters. --Stephen Plain
Nate Kassebaum, JavaScript Guide, The Mining Company
"I've not seen any material of this quality on Server-Side JavaScript. There is technical information available online, but none that is as complete and as easy to understand as this book. It's the best book on SSJS that I've seen."
