The few things I know about the web collected in a book:
The book is mainly (but not exclusively) thought for teaching web-and-all-that to non-scientists. It has been written from the point of view of a computer scientists that wants people to understand that “computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes (Edgser W. Dijkstra)”, as Prof. Gianluigi Ferrari brillantly remarks in the preface. In simpler words, our conviction is that understanding the scientific fundamentals of the web is crucial for mastering its technology, which includes every-day tools like the email, search engines, blogs and social networks.
The book contains chapters about the Internet, the Web, XML, HTML, usability and accesibility, search engines and information retrieval, Web 2.0, wikis and other collaborative tools, blogs and other self-publishing tools , social networks and the semantic web.
