About the Book

The World Wide Web has matured into a powerful tool for scientists, engineers, and researchers. Far more than a collection of hot links and cool sites, today's Web represents a sea-change in professional endeavors, providing new ways to communicate ideas and information. Filled with tutorials, examples and resource listings, this book is tailored to the specific concerns of the scientific and engineering communities, providing strategies to take full advantage of the Web for both research and publishing. By reading it, you can: learn to use the lean, new model of scholarly publishing-on-demand; harness the power of PDF and standard formats; stay innovative by planning for obsolescence with Cascading Style Sheets; mine data effectively with smart tools; display your math equations with correct notation; and capitalize on the channels offered by the Internet2, designed just for university and research facilities. This exciting new book is organized into three major sections: Essential Tools & Applications - The chapters in this section de-tangle the labyrinth that is today's Web and focus on key elements, starting with a comprehensive introduction to Web technologies and business directions as they relate to science and engineering. The author outlines a strategy for choosing an Internet Service Provider and provides an overview of the tools needed to communicate with colleagues and co-workers on the Web. This section concludes with a look at the browser itself, one of the most sophisticated, yet frustrating, software applications available today. Learn how to configure for your own needs and capitalize on your browser's strongest features, not just the marketing bells and whistles. Web Authoring & Publishing - Today's new tools make it easy to put any type of information online and publish your own Web pages. Besides being useful, this has profound socio-economic implications that will affect scientists and engineers for decades to come. Find out how it will affect you with the author's in-depth assessment of electronic publishing in the sciences and his examination of how scholarly publishing is being changed by personal publishing on the Web. This section also offers a comprehensive 'how-to' guide, from the fundamental elements and processes involved in creating Web pages - including simple and advanced HTML, graphics, tables, and forms - to a discussion of the most advanced applications, such as Java, JavaScript, CGIs, Cascading Style Sheets, image maps, and frames. This section concludes with an extensive reference list of the best online software resources and tutorials for all aspects of web publishing. Searching & Researching on the Web - Nearly half of the book is devoted to using two complementary approaches to making the Web the ultimate information resource. First, the book explains how to avoid time-wasting dead ends and more effectively use the big online search sites, such as Yahoo, Alta Vista, Excite, HotBot, Lycos, and InfoSeek. Topics include search query construction practices for each of the sites, advanced queries, and advice on when to use which site. Second, this section includes more than 200 pages of resources and handpicked Web-site listings for 23 major technology areas. These listings take off where the online search tools end, giving the practicing scientist or engineer a comprehensive, pre-filtered index to the best the Web has to offer. Co-published by SAE and SPIE. 'While as a consumer I marvel at and enjoy the changes the Internet has made to everyday living, I am also heartened to see that the original vision has not been lost, and is in fact reemerging from the ashes of the commercial sector's complete razing of the original NSFNet. The advancements promised by such breakthroughs as online document delivery, HTML expansion, and alternative network systems will have a profoundly positive effect on the scientific and engineering communities. It is a full circle indeed.' - Brian J. Thomas, Au
