 Preface
The present book entitled “Advance Web Technology” has been designed so as to cover the unit-
wise syllabus of MCA-304 course for MCA 3rd Year students of Vardhman Mahaveer Open
University, Kota.
The book is dedicated to the description of the latest trends and happening in Web application
development. The book starts with some introduction of Web Technologies like HTML,
JavaScript and CSS. Some advance topics like AJAX, jQuery, cloud computing are also
discussed in this book. For server side scripting language PHP is chosen with MySQL which are
Open source software. The book ends with Web content management like Wordpress, Drupal and
Joomla which can be used for creating a blog.
Each unit begins with objectives, introduction and principles together with illustrative and other
descriptive material .The illustrative examples serve to illustrate and amplify the theory, bring
into focus on important concepts. The units have been written by various experts in the field. We
believe that this book is well suited to self-learning. The text is written in a logical sequence and
is beneficial for students. The concise and sequential nature of the book makes it easier to learn.
Although we have made all efforts to make the text error free, yet errors may remain in the text.
We shall be thankful to the students and teachers alike if they point these out to us. Any further
comments and suggestions for future improvement are welcome and will be most gratefully
acknowledged.
