Description
The most prominent Web applications in use today are data-intensive. Scores of database management systems across the Internet access
and maintain large amounts of structured data for e-commerce, on-line trading, banking, digital libraries, and other high-volume sites.
Developing and maintaining these data-intensive applications is an especially complex, multi-disciplinary activity, requiring all
the tools and techniques that software engineering can provide. This book represents a breakthrough for Web application developers.
Using hundreds of illustrations and an elegant intuitive modeling language, the authors—all internationally-known database researchers—
present a methodology that fully exploits the conceptual modeling approach of software engineering, from idea to application. Readers
will learn not only how to harness the design technologies of relational databases for use on the Web, but also how to transform their
conceptual designs of data-intensive Web applications into effective software components.
Audience:
Web application developers, DB application developers, systems architects, IT managers, project managers, ecommerce application developers,
upper-division undergraduate and graduate computer science students in classes such as Web application development, ecommerce application
development, DB application development
