Overview

Dual-use technological writing at its best. This book presents HTML and JavaScript in a way that uniquely meets the needs of students in both engineering and the sciences. The author shows how to create simple client-side applications for scientific and engineering calculations. Complete HTML/JavaScript examples with science/engineering applications are used throughout to guide the reader comprehensively through the subject. The book gives the reader a sufficient understanding of HTML and JavaScript to write their online applications. This book emphasises basic programming principles in a modern Web-oriented environment, making it suitable for an introductory programming course for non-computer science majors.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This very short text book … is designed for well-motivated beginners who want to learn to program. It could provide an introduction to Web creation and programming for anyone … . The book contains several exercises for each chapter, all of them gathered together in a separate section at the end of the book. … overall, this is a really nice little book and, given its size, could be kept on the desk as a very basic reference to HTML and JavaScript." (J. Miller, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2008)
