               Overview 
               The Introduction section introduces several fundamental concepts like Internet, World Wide 
               Web (WWW), Web Browsers, Web Servers, URLs (Uniform Resource Locators), HTTP 
               (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and Security related concepts. 
                
               Chapter 1 introduces fundamental technologies with which the web pages are developed. You 
               will learn HTML (HyperText Markup Language) which is used to describe the content in a 
               web page, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) which is used to specify styling information for the 
               content in a webpage and JavaScript which is a famous client-side scripting language for 
               creating dynamic web pages. 
                
               Chapter 2 introduces PHP (Hypertext Pre Processor) and MYSQL, which are technologies on 
               which majority of the web sites are based on, as they are free. PHP is a server-side scripting 
               language and MYSQL is a DBMS (Data Base Management System) like Oracle, Microsoft 
               SQL Server, IBM's DB2 etc. 
                
               Chapter 3 introduces XML (eXtensible Markup Language) which is used to specify topic 
               related tags (user defined tags) for representing and transmitting information from one system 
               to another. 
                
               Chapter 4 introduces JavaBeans which is a Java related technology for creating platform 
               independent software components and embedding/using them in web pages or tools. 
                
               Chapter 5 introduces Servlets which is a Java related technology for server-side programming 
               that includes database connectivity, cookies management, session management and other 
               computational tasks. 
                
               Chapter 6 introduces JSP (Java Server Pages) which is a Java related technology for server-
               side programming and is a simplification over Servlets. 
                
               Chapter 7 introduces JDBC (Java Data Base Connectivity) which a Java specification for 
               connecting to databases and transmitting data from one end to another. 
                
               Chapter 8 introduces AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) which is used to reload a 
               part of the webpage,  and Web Services which allow different software components on 
               multiple systems to interoperate with each other.
