The reader may wonder that Web world related technology are changing much faster than ever before. And then there are so many books on Web technology. So why go through the trouble of reading another book ? Well, it’s true that technologies are changing fast but if one observes closely there is a pattern on “how it changes”. For instance, an abstraction of such a pattern is that most of the new advancements are happening by combining a few things together and all of those things already exist. As a corollary and a direct proof of it, these innovations are observed to happen in waves rather than by sharp turns. So it actually makes sense for someone to take a snapshot of the current state which will be useful for extrapolation.
