It’s an endeavor to put things together, what has been both practiced as well as preached, which is one of the most compelling differentiators of this book.The reader may wonder that Web world-related technology is changing much faster than ever before. And then there are so many books on Web technology. So why go through the trouble of reading another book? Well, technologies are indeed changing fast but if one observes closely there is a pattern on “how it changes”. For instance, an abstraction of such a pattern is that most of the new advancements are happening by combining a few things, and all of those things already exist. As a corollary and a direct proof of it, these innovations are observed to happen in waves rather than by sharp turns. So it makes sense for someone to take a snapshot of the current state which will be useful for extrapolation.
