Web Programming

If you're going to venture into Web deployments of FileMaker, you'll find it beneficial to be well read on Web programming technologies. Even if you're using only Instant Web Publishing, it helps to be very familiar with how the Web works. A good ”though very exact and technical ”discussion is HTTP: The Definitive Guide , (O'Reilly) by David Gourley, Brian Totty, et al. (ISBN: 1-56592-509-2). You can also consult the HTTP Developer's Handbook (SAMS) by Chris Shiflett (ISBN: 0-67232-454-7).

If you're getting into Custom Web Publishing, you'll likely be well served by a solid reference library on the fundamental Web technologies: HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. In general, we've found the books from O'Reilly Press (http://www.oreilly.com) to be impeccable. SAMS also has a strong lineup in this area. You can also sign up for a nifty e-book subscription service, Safari (http://safari.informit.com) to take these and other hefty volumes for a test drive.
