Review:

This terrific reference book condenses the material of at least five huge volumes on Web site construction into a single small one. It doesn't teach how to develop and maintain a Web site, but it puts all the commands, syntax information, and related knowledge where you can find them quickly. Sections cover HTML, CGI, HTTI, JavaScript, and server configurations. Each section begins with a brief overview of the topic then follows with a series of well-organized lists, charts, and other reminders to help you rapidly find a little-used command or forgotten bit of information.

From the Publisher:

WebMaster in a Nutshell is a complete, two-part library for web programmers. The main resource is a CD-ROM, containing five popular O'Reilly titles: HTML: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition; JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition; CGI Programming on the World Wide Web; Programming Perl, 2nd Edition -- the classic "camel book," written by Larry Wall (the inventor of Perl) with Tom Christiansen and Randall Schwartz; and WebMaster in a Nutshell. The library also features a printed copy of WebMaster in a Nutshell, the all-inclusive quick reference for web developers. As tools for the Web improve, developers look to the Web as the preferred medium for learning new technology. Now, we've made it easy to find the information you want with all of the ease and convenience you'd expect from the Web: up-to-date coverage of the technologies webmasters and programmers use most for development; trails of related information linked across the books, which is an intuitive alternative to repetitive searching; and links across the books all on a single CD-ROM. It's incredibly portable -- just slip it into your laptop case as you commute or take off on your next trip -- and you'll have faster access -- no more frustrating flipping through pages or waiting for information to download. Requirements: The CD is readable on all platforms, but requires a web browser that supports HTML 3.2, Java, and JavaScript. (Adobe Acrobat is not supported.)
