Chapter 16
Programming
for the web
This text would not be complete without some tips specifically
aimed at web programming. Web programming may seem
simple, but is not to be taken lightly: it is the current state of the
art. Most people can learn how to build static web pages for their
friends and family in a relatively short amount of time, but this
is a far cry from mission­critical, multi­user, database­driven,
multi­server, load­balanced, cross­browser, secure, interactive
websites­ looking as unimpressive as your favourite search
engine.
Numerous books have been written on web development, so this
chapter will only provide a few key points that have proven
themselves over and over again. I hope they will be useful in
your next browser­based project.
