Beschreibung

Wiley Computer Publishing, 2001; pp xii, 221; index, glossary and numerous code fragments in the text; includes a CD (unopened) containing the entire book in PDF form. The book is a useful, detailed look at the fundamental communications protocol for hypermedia transfer and exchange and at attendant protocols. Not easy bed-time reading, certainly, but still useful if you want to get an idea of what makes the world wide web tick and which lifted the internet up a major notch as a carrier when the protocol was developed by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989.
