That's easy. The new edition of the Apache Cookbook offers you updated solutions to the problems you're likely to encounter with the new versions of Apache. Written by members of the Apache Software Foundation, and thoroughly revised for Apache versions 2.0 and 2.2, recipes in this book range from simple tasks, such installing the server on Red Hat Linux or Windows, to more complex tasks, such as setting up name-based virtual hosts or securing and managing your proxy server. Altogether, you get more than 200 timesaving recipes for solving a crisis or other deadline conundrums, with topics including: * Security * Aliases, Redirecting, and Rewriting * CGI Scripts, the suexec Wrapper, and other dynamic content techniques * Error Handling * SSL * Performance This book tackles everything from beginner problems to those faced by experienced users. For every problem addressed in the book, you will find a worked-out solution that includes short, focused pieces of code you can use immediately. You also get explanations of how and why the code works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations. Instead of poking around mailing lists, online documentation, and other sources, rely on the Apache Cookbook for quick solutions when you need them. Then you can spend your time and energy where it matters most.
The web framework Ruby on Rails for developing database based web applications provides a Model-View-Controller framework. The required web server WEBrick is included with Ruby on Rails.

HTML has been on a wild ride. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTML's put on some major muscle. Now we've got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. And to speak this language you've got to go beyond HTML5 markup and into the world of the DOM, events, and JavaScript APIs.Now you probably already know all about HTML markup (otherwise known as structure) and you know all aboutCSS style (presentation), but what you've been missing is JavaScript (behavior). If all you know about are structure and presentation, you can create some great looking pages, but they're still just pages. When you add behavior with JavaScript, you can create an interactive experience; even better, you can create full blown web applications."Head First HTML5 Programming" is your ultimate tour guide to creating web applications with HTML5 and JavaScript, and we give you everything you need to know to build them, including: how to add interactivity to your pages, how to communicate with the world of Web services, and how to use the great new APIs being developed for HTML5.Here are just some of the things you'll learn in "Head First HTML5 Programing" Learn how to make your pages truly interactive by using the power of the DOM.Finally understand how JavaScript works and take yourself from novice to well-informed in just a few chapters.Learn how JavaScript APIs fit into the HTML5 ecosystem, and how to use any API in your web pages.Use the Geolocation API to know where your users are.Bring out your inner artist with Canvas, HTML5's new 2D drawing surface.Go beyond just plugging a video into your pages, and create custom video experiences.Learn the secret to grabbing five megabytes of storage in every user's browser.Improve your page's responsiveness and performance with Web workers.And much more.
Learn and master the new features in the new Eclipse Jakarta Faces (formerly JavaServer Faces or JSF) web framework in this definitive guide written by two of the driving forces of the Faces project and the co-creators of the OmniFaces library. Authors Bauke Scholtz and Arjan Tijms take you through real-world examples that demonstrate how these new features are used with other APIs in Jakarta EE. You'll see the new and exciting ways Jakarta Faces applications can use to communicate between a client and a server, such as using WebSockets, invoking bean methods directly from Ajax, executing client-side JavaScript when Ajax calls complete, and more Along the way you'll broaden your knowledge of Faces components and web APIs best practices, and learn a great deal about the internals of Faces and the design decisions that have been made when building the Faces API. For example, you'll see what artefacts are now CDI injectable, how CDI changed Faces internally, and what some of the caveats are when working with the CDI versions of a Faces artefact. Furthermore, you'll build an example application from scratch. After reading The Definitive Guide to Jakarta Faces in Jakarta EE 10, you'll be ready to build your own efficient and secure web applications. What You Will Learn Leverage the new features in Jakarta Faces in Jakarta EE in your existing applications Integrate Faces and CDI Use the brand new Component Search Expression framework, which enables you to more easily locate components from your template Extend the Component Search Expression framework with your own search operators Work with the different ways of mapping requests to Faces, make your application use extension-less URLs, and programmatically inspect which resources are present in your application Master the best practices for web application development and see which are obsolete Who This Book Is For Existing JSF or Java developers who need to create a web UI. No prior knowledge of Faces is required, but the book does skew towards the more experienced developer. Concepts such as dependency injection and MVC are assumed to be known, as is a general knowledge about HTML, HTTP and other web standards.

Adding internet access to embedded systems opens up a whole new world of capabilities. For example, a remote data logging system could automatically send data via the internet and be reconfigured - such as to log new types of data or to measure at different intervals - by commands sent over the internet from any computer or device with internet access. Embedded internet and internet appliances are the focus of great attention in the computing industry, as they are seen as the future of computing, but the design of such devices presents many technical challenges.;This book describes how to design, build and program embedded systems with internet access, giving special attention to sensors and actuators which gather data for transmission over the internet or execute commands sent by the internet, It shows how to build sensors and control devices that connect to the "tiny internet interface" (TINI) and explains how to write programs that control them in Java. Several design case histories are given, including weather monitoring stations, communications centres, automation systems, and data acquisitions systems. The authors discuss how these technologies work and where to get detailed specifications, and they provide ideas for the reader to pursue beyond the book. The accompanying CD-ROM includes Java source code for all the applications described in the book, and an electronic version of the text.
