HTML And JavaScript

HTML or Hypertext Markup Language, is the most widely used language on Web. Technically, HTML is not a programming language, but rather a markup language. This tutorial gives a complete understanding on HTML.

• Directly addresses the needs of engineers and scientists by explaining precisely those components of HTML and JavaScript needed to write their own online applications
• Features detailed code examples and output to guide the reader comprehensively
• Contains details of a supplementary website for containing code examples and all graphics files
• Emphasises basic programming principles in a modern Web-oriented environment, making it suitable for an introductory programming course for non-computer science majors

The JavaScript language is widely used for simple online applications. This useful book presents HTML and JavaScript in a way that uniquely meets the needs of students in the sciences and engineering. It explains how to create simple, client-side applications for scientific and engineering calculations. It includes many complete HTML/JavaScript examples with science/engineering applications to guide the reader progressively and comprehensively through the subject.

This book is specifically targeted at a technical audience-- but not one that is necessarily familiar with a programming language-- and gives the reader a sufficient understanding of HTML and JavaScript to write their own online applications. The exposition emphasises basic programming principles in a modern Web-oriented environment, making it also highly suitable for an introductory programming course for non-computer-science majors.

JavaScript is a scripting language produced by Netscape for use within HTML Web pages. JavaScript is loosely based on Java and it is built into all the major modern browsers. This tutorial gives a complete understanding on JavaScript.
