Who Should Read This Book?

This book is for you if you truly want to develop all the power of web applications. If you want to start using cookies instead of just having your browser accept them, if you want to handle buttons, text fields, check boxes and more in your web pages, if you want to track users with sessions, or if you want to connect to a database on the server, then look no further. This book lets you take control of the server side of things.

In addition, this book is specially written so that you don't need a lot of experience to use it. The only real requirement for this book is familiarity with HTML. You don't need to be an HTML expert, but you'll need to know some.
