When the web transitioned from a publishing to an interactive e-commerce medium, standardised web-browsers entered widespread use and developers were able to rely on a relatively stable client component. Since then, server-side developments have blossomed and resulted in considerable ease of programming, efficiency and increasing sophistication of the server-side environment. Focusing on various technologies that support the server-side processing of data from web-based forms, principally CGI style programs, scripting and Java solutions, this is a book tailored to the technical and computational components of running a commercial and successful website. To benefit most from this approach, you will have a working knowledge of HTML, some programming experience in Java or C++, and limited experience with databases. Its concentration on server-side to the exclusion of web-page design and client-side concerns will be welcomed by practitioners and students who want hands-on and in-depth guidance on: * Setting up and running an Apache server * Use of Perl for web CGI programming and support administrative tasks * PHP Scripting - ideal for prototyping small web services * Servlet technologies * JSP - separating the issues of business programming and presentation * XML - a few of its applications * Advanced services with EJBs * NET's new world order - a better model for client/server interaction The unified presentation allows for evaluation and comparison and cuts down on tedious duplication of content. Use it as a map to navigate the strengths and niches of each of the tools to help judge which best suits your environment and requirements. Realistic examples help to ground this broad coverage of server technologies and will prove invaluable for web masters, systems administrators and students looking for careers requiring web programming skills.

A Python community leader teaches professionals how to integrate web applications with Python.

A step-by-step guide that demonstrates how to build simple-to-advanced applications through examples in Julia Lang 1.x using modern tools Key FeaturesWork with powerful open-source libraries for data wrangling, analysis, and visualizationDevelop full-featured, full-stack web applications Learn to perform supervised and unsupervised machine learning and time series analysis with JuliaBook Description Julia is a new programming language that offers a unique combination of performance and productivity. Its powerful features, friendly syntax, and speed are attracting a growing number of adopters from Python, R, and Matlab, effectively raising the bar for modern general and scientific computing. After six years in the making, Julia has reached version 1.0. Now is the perfect time to learn it, due to its large-scale adoption across a wide range of domains, including fintech, biotech, education, and AI. Beginning with an introduction to the language, Julia Programming Projects goes on to illustrate how to analyze the Iris dataset using DataFrames. You will explore functions and the type system, methods, and multiple dispatch while building a web scraper and a web app. Next, you'll delve into machine learning, where you'll build a books recommender system. You will also see how to apply unsupervised machine learning to perform clustering on the San Francisco business database. After metaprogramming, the final chapters will discuss dates and time, time series analysis, visualization, and forecasting. We'll close with package development, documenting, testing and benchmarking. By the end of the book, you will have gained the practical knowledge to build real-world applications in Julia. What you will learnLeverage Julia's strengths, its top packages, and main IDE optionsAnalyze and manipulate datasets using Julia and DataFramesWrite complex code while building real-life Julia applicationsDevelop and run a web app using Julia and the HTTP packageBuild a recommender system using supervised machine learning Perform exploratory data analysis Apply unsupervised machine learning algorithmsPerform time series data analysis, visualization, and forecastingWho this book is for Data scientists, statisticians, business analysts, and developers who are interested in learning how to use Julia to crunch numbers, analyze data and build apps will find this book useful. A basic knowledge of programming is assumed.

As a Java programmer, how can you tackle the disruptive client-server approach to web development? With this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn how today’s client-side technologies and web APIs work with various Java tools. Author Casimir Saternos provides the big picture of client-server development, and then takes you through many practical client-server architectures. You’ll work with hands-on projects in several chapters to get a feel for the topics discussed. User habits, technologies, and development methods have drastically altered web app design in recent years. But the Web itself hasn’t changed. This book shows you how to build apps that conform to the web’s underlying architecture. Learn the advantages of using separate client and server tiers, including code organization and speedy prototyping Explore the major tools, frameworks, and starter projects used in JavaScript development Dive into web API design and REST style of software architecture Understand Java’s alternatives to traditional packaging methods and application server deployment Build projects with lightweight servers, using jQuery with Jython, and Sinatra with Angular Create client-server web apps with traditional Java web application servers and libraries

To drive a car you don't need to understand how the engine works, but if you are a race car driver, you should. If you have race driver level programming talent, this book will take you under the hood of server technologies. By showing readers how to write a powerful and usable Java server from scratch (and in under 1,000 lines of code) this book shows how major technologies can be built from the ground up using bare bones Java. It gives readers a tour behind the scenes, enabling them to create similar powerful technologies themselves. This empowering book is a must-have for serious Java programmers. == Books and courses on servlets and JSP teach a list of features and how to use them. Effectively, this is like rote memorization, with no deep understanding. Because the technologies can be difficult to actually implement, the conventional wisdom is that learning by doing is not possible for server side technologies. But this book aims to change the status quo in servlet and JSP learning, by using an approach that does make learning by doing possible. The book actually guides the reader into writing a small Java web server, that can not only serve HTML and media pages, but implements powerful subsets of servlet and JSP technologies. And all this can be done in less that 1,000 lines of code (that's right, under one thousand LOC) with the guidance and technical approach of this book. The servlet and JSP subsets implement all the core technology and most of the powerful features. This gives the reader actual insight into how and why servlet and JSP features are designed that way, and what is the "magic" going on under the hood. The reader will no longer need to rote memorize the features of servlet and JSP, and will actually understand them. The book is accompanied by a downloadable file. This downloadable file includes support code, so readers can stay focused on the server technologies without getting side-tracked far into string manipulation etc.
