Introduction to HTML and JavaScript [PDF ebook] 
for Scientists and Engineers

Java Script is widely used for simple online applications.This book presents HTML and Java Script in a way that uniquely meets the needs of students in the sciences and engineering. It explains how to create simple client-side applications for scientific and engineering calculations. It includes many complete HTML/Java Script examples with science/engineering applications to guide the reader progressively and comprehensively through the subject.This book is specifically targeted at a technical audience— but not one that is necessarily familiar with a programming language, — and gives the reader a sufficient understanding of HTML and Java Script to write their own online applications. The exposition emphasises basic programming principles in a modern Web-oriented environment, making it also highly suitable for an introductory programming course for non-computer science majors. It is also ideal for self-study. There is supplementary website for this book containing code examples and all graphics files.
