You've got the idea. You know a little HTML. Now you want to build the web site! If you already know some HTML, you have an idea for a web site, and you are a do-it-yourself-er, you may find the information you need in A Woman's Guide to Building Her Own Web Site, Vol. 1. The Basics The author, Terri (creator of Her Technology), collected information, tips, and suggestions based upon her own experiences building her web sites. "A Woman's Guide to Building Her Own Web Site, Vol. 1" begins with a thorough introduction to:
Working with Scripts and Applets After the basics are covered, the second part of the book takes you step-by-step through obtaining, installing, and customizing a number of Perl scripts, JavaScript scripts, and Java applets. By following the detailed directions you will be able to add useful (and/or fun) capabilities to your site, and you will gain experience working with different kinds of scripts and applets. This experience will help you use scripts and applets other than those discussed in the book. The scripts and applets section of the ebook covers the following topics:
In many cases, the information is presented first with the bare minimum you need to get the script working, then with a description of how you can make additional changes to improve the customization or action of the script. Who is the audience for this book? This ebook is for those women who want to create a site (or expand their knowledge) but who do not know how to program with Perl, JavaScript, or Java. It is also directed toward those who want to learn more about Internet technologies. Finally, the book is designed for women who want more control over their site. In other words, you can use services or sites that give you a predefined set of templates and a preselected set of capabilities. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and it suits the needs of many people. (One good example is Homepage.) But if you want to design your site yourself, then you'll need more flexibility, and that is where "A Woman's Guide to Building Her Own Web Site" can help. You may think that only computer geeks can do this, but the answer is NO! Many women have started out with just an interest and a desire to explore and use the power of the Web. Visit All for Women to see a web site created by a definite non-computer geek. And she will be the first to say that you can do it, too. More to come This ebook is the first volume of a two-volume set. (Volume 2 will be available in the 4th quarter of 2000.) Because Volume 1 is intended for absolute beginners, it covers the basics and simpler scripts. It does not go into ecommerce topics like credit card handling and shopping carts. Those topics will be covered in Volume 2. But, Volume 1 of "A Woman's Guide to Building Her Own Web Site" does point you live examples of the scripts discussed so that you can see how the scripts act. And it contains links to numerous on-line resources -- both presented in the text and categorized in the Appendix for easy reference.
