10.9 Other Collections of Resources
10.10 Books on HTML, CGI and the Web
Of course, my own book is
positively the best book on the Web in the whole universe. ;-) But,
other books do exist, and given that I might be a little
biased, you might want to have a look at some of them. A relatively
complete list is maintained with the WWW FAQ.
All you need do is access the FAQ
books page.
HTML editors and document filters and other Web browsing and authoring
tools are described in the following documents. Also -- the HAL
Validation Service is very useful for validating HTML documents -- this
is a must-use for anyone seriously interseted in designing correct HTML
documents.
The World Wide Web Consortium is coordinating the development of the
Web, in part through releasing well-thought-out technical proposals/reports.
These reports are listed at:
The World Wide Web conferences are the prime meeting place for web
technology developers, and for those interested in hearing about the
latest in Web technology and in meeting those behind these developments.
THere have been four conferences to date, with a fifth scheduled
for Paris, France in May of 1996. The following are links to sites
archiving information about these different events, past and present:
- WWW5 May
6-11, 1996, Paris, France
- WWW4 December
11-14, 1995 Boston, USA
- WWW3 April
10-14 1995 Darmstadt, Germany
- WWW2 October

Hyper-G is the first of a new generation of Internet information systems --
it provides real hypermedia, supporting tools for structuring, maintaining
and serving heterogeneous multimedia data including text, images, digital
audio and video, PostScript and 3D scenes. The above link goes to an
Hyper-G overview. This has links to various Hyper-G browsers.
