Guide to HTML, javascript and PHP: For Scientists and Engineers
HTML, javascript, and PHP are Web-based programming languages that can be used to solve computational problems in an online environment.
This easy-to-read, informative guide/reference will enable readers to quickly develop a working knowledge of HTML, javascript and PHP – a valuable skill for any scientist or engineer. Updating and expanding upon the author’s previous Springer titles, An Introduction to HTML and javascript and An Introduction to PHP, the text emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning and makes extensive use of examples throughout the book. A detailed science, engineering, or mathematics background is not required to understand the material, making the book ideally suitable for self-study or an introductory course in programming.
Topics and features:
* Describes the creation and use of HTML documents, including tables, forms, lists, frames, and cascading style sheets
* Presents fundamental concepts of client-side and server-side programming languages and their application to scientific and engineering calculations, using javascript and PHP
* Examines javascript and PHP implementation of arrays, built-in and user-defined methods and functions, math capabilities, and input processing with HTML forms
* With PHP, extends programming fundamentals to include reading and writing server-based files, command-line interfaces, and an introduction to GD graphics
* Appendices include lists of ASCII and HTML special characters, and a brief introduction to using a “pseudocode” approach to organizing solutions to computing problems
* Includes a Glossary and an extensive set of programming exercises
