Editorial Review:

As two of the leading MVC web frameworks for Python, Django and TurboGears allow you to develop and launch sites in a fraction of the time compared to traditional techniques and they provide greater stability, scalability, and management than alternatives. Packed with examples, this book will help you discover a new methodology for designing, coding, testing, and deploying rich web applications.

A team of expert authors shows you the power of MVC frameworks and the capabilities of the TurboGears and Django packages. The Django chapters show you how to automate production of common web development tasks, portal creation, and content management, so you can focus on higher-level application issues and design. The TurboGears chapters illustrate how to rapidly create modern, highly interactive Web 2.0 applications. For both frameworks, you'll create useful applications that exemplify common Web 2.0 design paradigms and their solutions. Ultimately, you'll leverage your Python skills using Django and TurboGears and go from novice to RIA expert.

Editorial Review:

This is a practical book describing the entire process of planning, implementing, and maintaining a Web site as an XML-based information system. It covers all stages of an XML Web site project, including: -developing a domain-specific schema, -preparing and validating source documents (both authoring in XML and converting from other formats are covered), -setting up XSLT transformations for automatic generation of HTML, graphics, and other components of the site, -testing and maintenance of the system. Ideal for working Web developers new to XML but eager to learn and leverage its benefits. Web developers understand the power of XML but often are hesitant to deploy it for fear of a steep learning curve. Kirsanov simplifies XML and XSLT and boils it down to just those elements they need to become immediately effective. The main technologies covered in the book are: XML, XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0, Schematron, and Cocoon. The book uses many examples of code and markup; also, a full-scale sample site is described throughout the book, with complete listings for page sources, stylesheet, and schema.

Editorial Review:

JavaServer Pages (JSP) is an established and popular technology for building dynamic web applications that can access databases and provide an interactive experience for your website's users. This book uses the new version of JSP – JSP 2.0 – which makes JavaServer Pages more powerful and much easier to program.

In this book you'll learn how the web works and how JSP fits in, how to get input from the user and create web pages "on the fly", and how JavaBeans, components, and tag libraries allow you to make your code more readable and easier to maintain. The book also covers how to handle errors in your code, the best ways of designing web applications, and finishes with a comprehensive case study that builds a browser-based project management tool easily adaptable to many businesses.

JSP is built on top of the Java programming language, so this book will additionally teach you the fundamentals of Java alongside JSP itself.

Editorial Review:

Create PHP projects that grab and mix data from the likes of Google Maps, Flickr, Amazon, YouTube, MSN Search, Yahoo!, Last.fm, the Internet UPC Database, not to mention the California Highway Patrol Traffic service!

A mashup is a web page or application that combines data from two or more external online sources into an integrated experience. This book is your entryway to the world of mashups and Web 2.0. You will create PHP projects that grab data from one place on the Web, mix it up with relevant information from another place on the Web and present it in a single application.

This book is made up of five real-world PHP projects. Each project begins with an overview of the technologies and protocols needed for the project, and then dives straight into the tools used and details of creating the project:

• Look up products on Amazon.Com from their code in the Internet UPC database
• A fully customized search engine with MSN Search and Yahoo!
• A personal video jukebox with YouTube and Last.FM
• Deliver real-time traffic incident data via SMS and the California Highway Patrol!
• Display pictures sourced from Flickr in Google maps

All the mashup applications used in the book are built upon free tools and are thoroughly explained. You will find all the source code used to build the mashups used in this book in the code download section for this book.

• Expand your website and applications using mashups
• Gain a thorough understanding of mashup fundamentals
• Clear, detailed walk-through of the key PHP mashup building technologies
• Five fully implemented example mashups with full code

This book is a practical tutorial with five detailed and carefully explained case studies to build new and effective mashup applications.

If you feel confident with your PHP programming, familiar with the basics of HTML and CSS, unafraid of XML, and interested in mashing things up, this is the book for you!

A Strong Business Case for Web 2.0 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

In O'Reilly's Web 2.0 Principles and Best Practices, Tim Musser provides a robust overview of the current online era--what has become known as Web 2.0--from the publisher that coined that term in 2004. In the publication, Musser presents a strong business case that user-centric internet applications drive revenue and brand equity. He lays out eight "core patterns" that are driving the online ecosystem and provides insightful analysis for each. This read is great for anyone wanting to look deeper into why Flicker is so addictive, or why Google would pay so much for YouTube. It is a text that is informed by current business trends/financials as well rooted in digital theory.

After I read this publication and truly considered the responsive, flexible applications that Musser holds up as examples of Web 2.0 implementation, it is apparent to me that the "wild west" days of spaghetti coding and application specific development are coming to an end, if not already gone. While valuable applications may be written this way in the future, it is quite possible that a more nimble "me too" competitor would become the market leader simply because it was built using well structured code. Developing nimble applications using good, solid class based object oriented methodologies and allowing other programmers contribute to your application's growth isn't just smart, it's imperative.

Web 2.0 Principles and Best Practices puts being a web application developer, or an internet professional in general into excellent social context.

Editorial Review:

What does Web 2.0 mean to your company and products? What are the risks and opportunities? What are the proven strategies for successfully capitalizing on these changes? O'Reilly Radar's Web 2.0 Principles and Best Practices lays out the answers the why, what, who, and how of Web 2.0. It's an indispensable guide for technology decision-makers executives, product strategists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who are ready to compete and prosper in today's Web 2.0 world.
