Stop the Web ... You’re Getting on!

Abstract

At the beginning of our journey, let’s take a moment to think about why the Web is so interesting and why having a web site is so useful, or as some would argue, essential. This is where we will start, before we even begin to immerse ourselves in all of those technologies you’ve heard about. This chapter will cover the reasons for starting a web site, look at some success stories of people just like you who have already done so, and give you the kind of positive feel-good vibe you need to walk into the rest of the book with confidence.
