Written for Web designers and developers, programmers, and commercial product developers, this guide describes the ins and outs of HTML/OS, a complete Web-based database engine and development environment that runs in standard hosting accounts and on UNIX, Linux, Windows, or Macintosh Web servers. With only knowledge of HTML and BASIC, the user will be able to build shopping carts, database-driven applications, e-mail merge programs, member logins, and signup areas. This commonsense approach to development, requires no experience with database design, SCL, object-oriented languages, C++, Java, or Perl. HTML/OS also eliminates the need for CGI programming and integration tools such as ASP and ColdFusion.
