《JavaScript权威指南》全面介绍了JavaScript语言的核心，以及Web浏览器中实现的遗留和标准的DOM。它运用了一些复杂的例子，说明如何处理验证表单数据、使用cookie、创建可移植的DHTML动画等常见任务。本书还包括详细的参考手册，涵盖了JavaScript的核心API、遗留的客户端API和W3C标准DOM API，记述了这些API中的每一个JavaScript对象、方法、性质、构造函数、常量和事件处理程序。

这本书是为了希望自己的网站成本变得更低，运行得更好，访问者更多的网页设计师、开发者、网站所有者及管理者写的。
书中着重分析了目前网站建设中存在的一些问题，以及“Web标准”思想的产生、发展和推广，并从技术细节上讲解了网站实际制作和开发的过程中如何向Web标准过渡，如何采用和符合Web标准。本书的出版目的就是帮助读者理解Web标准，创建出用最低的费用达到最多的用户，并维持最长时间的网站，并且提供一些相关的技术和技巧。

一个网站，无论看起来有多漂亮或者内容有多丰富，如果它不能适应各种各样的浏览情况，不能面向尽可能广泛的用户群，那它就不算是真正成功的。在《无懈可击的Web设计》一书中，作者，著名 Web 设计师 Dan Cederholm 讲述了若干基于 Web 标准的网页设计策略，它们能帮助你创建出具有高度灵活性，可读性以及用户可控性的网站——这些是一个真正成功的网站所必备的要素。本书每一章都以分析一个实例开始：一个并非无懈可击的网站——使用传统的，基于 HTML 的构建方式——然后 Dan 会指出其局限性和不足之处，并使用 XHTML 和层叠样式表（CSS）对其进行重构。于是你可以清楚地看到，如何使用简洁的 HTML 和 CSS 取代臃肿的冗余代码，创建具有极快的加载速度同时具有很高的亲和力的网站。最后，他还会将各章中讨论的所有页面组件结合在一起，制作一个综合的模版。通过本书，您将学会：
* 使用 keyword 和百分比来设定页面文字的大小，以允许用户控制。
* 提供能够适应任意大小的文字或者任意数量的内容的站点导航栏。
* 让横向延伸的页面组件能够在纵向自由扩张。
* 使用浮动对象来实现栏式效果。
* 创建具有向后兼容性的框式的组件。
* 确保页面内容在图片或 CSS 缺失的情况下仍然易读。
* 把外观从数据表格中剥离出来，再用 CSS 重新定义。
* 能自由扩大缩小的页面布局。

Product Description
Web technology has become the foundation for all sorts of critical networked applications and far-reaching methods of data exchange, and beneath it all is a fundamental protocol: HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP. HTTP: The Definitive Guide documents everything that technical people need for using HTTP efficiently-including the "black arts" and "tricks of the trade"-and does so in a clear and readable manner. Written by experts with years of practical and teaching experience, this book is the definitive technical bible on HTTP and related core web technologies because it clearly explains the "why" as well as the "how". A reader can understand how web applications work, how the core Internet protocols and architectural building blocks interact, and how to correctly implement Internet clients and servers. It's an essential toolkit that no technically-inclined member of the Internet community should be without.

* Most JavaScript books are very long-winded, boring, and developer-oriented – this one provides a quick and easy reference for those who are not code experts, but want to quickly learn and take advantage of JavaScript/DOM to add cool functionality to their web sites. * Shows readers how to build several real world projects. * All examples are fiercely standards compliant and up-to-date.

Slow websites infuriate users. Lots of people can visit your web site or use your web application - but you have to be prepared for those visitors, or they won't come back. Your sites need to be built to withstand the problems success creates. "Building Scalable Web Sites" looks at a variety of techniques for creating sites which can keep users cheerful even when there are thousands or millions of them. Flickr.com developer, Cal Henderson, explains how to build sites so that large numbers of visitors can enjoy them. Henderson examines techniques that go beyond sheer speed, exploring how to coordinate developers, support international users, and integrate with other services from email to SOAP to RSS to the APIs exposed by many Ajax-based web applications. This book uncovers the secrets that you need to know for back-end scaling, architecture and failover so your websites can handle countless requests. You'll learn how to take the "poor man's web technologies" - Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP or other scripting languages - and scale them to compete with established "store bought" enterprise web technologies. Toward the end of the book, you'll discover techniques for keeping web applications running with event monitoring and long-term statistical tracking for capacity planning. If you're about to build your first dynamic website, then "Building Scalable Web Sites" isn't for you. But if you're an advanced developer who's ready to realize the cost and performance benefits of a comprehensive approach to scalable applications, then let your fingers do the walking through this convenient guide.
