The Dynamic Web: A Server-side Perspective
Dave Clarke, BCS Seminar, March 1999

Abstract

The World Wide Web is a rapidly changing field. What was essentially once a set of static pages, has now become a complex web of dynamic information-driven pages and applications, connecting to a variety of database back-end systems and information sources. But how are these web applications and sites produced? What tools and technologies are appropriate? What other issues are involved?

This presentation will give an insight into how dynamic web sites are constructed, focussing in particular on server-side approaches and solutions. Various technologies will be discussed, including examples where relevant on how they may be used. The pros and cons of driving dynamic web applications from the server will also be highlighted.
