Overview - The Business Case for e-business
Synopsis
An authoritative guide to making informed decisions about e-business, this book presents the views of 17 renowned experts in the field who, chapter by chapter, outline the fundamentals of e-business technology.
Adhering to book editor Keith Rutledge's belief that concentrating on the big picture is more important than mastering minute details, the first nine chapters of the book explore e-business concepts, including the economic underpinnings of the Web, open e-business architecture, e-commerce, Web server infrastructure, Web application development, collaborative computing, Web payment, and Java. Subsequent chapters map these concepts to practical realities by explaining e-business technologies such as MQSeries, SanFrancisco, TCP/IP, HTML, JavaScript, Extensible Markup Language (XML), Unified Modeling Language (UML), Web security, and pervasive computing.
If you need a clear-eyed view of the rewards and costs of e-business technology so you can lead your company to success in the new economy, this book is for you.
