~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. OTHER VOICES: Building Java Server Pages, Welcome to PHP, Building a Database-Driven Web Site Using PHP and MySQL, What's Wireless to a Web Developer?
>Building Java Server Pages
A detailed look at building JSP pages. Should you use JSP or servlets? Check out this guide to the different varieties of JSP tags, and details about the main tags such as <jsp:useBean> and <jsp:setProperty>. http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/articles/jsp_build.html WebDevelopersJournal.com, 000525

Take a look at programming with PHP, an open-source server-parsed embedded scripting language, in this comprehensive introduction.
http://idm.internet.com/articles/200005/phpindex.html IDM.internet.com, 000524
Building a Database-Driven Web Site Using PHP and MySQL
It's time to face it: databases are everywhere. Feeling left behind? This ten part series of articles will teach you everything you'll need to build a database-driven Web site from the ground up. http://www.webmasterbase.com/article.php3?aid=228&pid=0 WebMasterBase.com, 000524
>What's Wireless to a Web Developer?
The world's going wild over wireless. Whew! But what does this mean to the designer of Web sites? Plenty. The wireless wave is one of several trends that will change the nature of Web development - and ironically make Web coding more like the way it was originally conceived. http://wdvl.internet.com/Internet/Wireless/ WDVL.com, 000523

NET NEWS: W3C Accepts VoiceXML 1.0 Spec, Lycos's Tripod Offers Easy Site Building Tool, White House: Internet Must Police Itself, AOL Error Underscores Spam Filter Challenge, Potato-Powered Web Server?
>W3C Accepts VoiceXML 1.0 Spec
The World Wide Web Consortium accepted the Voice Extensible Markup Language specification, expanding 'voice enabled' Web content and services. Based on the W3C's industry-standard XML, the VoiceXML 1.0 specification provides an intelligent API to speech and telephony applications for developers, service providers and equipment manufacturers. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2574350,00.html ZDNet.com,000523
>Lycos's Tripod Offers Easy Site Building Tool
Tripod, part of the Lycos Inc. network, unveiled a new easy-to-use Web site building tool, aimed at non-programmers. Tripod Site Builder, powered by Trellix, is designed to offer Tripod members the ability to quickly create and update Web sites through their browsers, employing a selection of pages, graphics and interactive content. HTML knowledge is not required to use the tool. http://www.internetnews.com/wd-news/article/0,2171,10_377911,00.html InternetNews.com, 000523
>White House: Internet Must Police Itself
The Clinton administration announced that it preferred to have industry find ways to protect online privacy rather than create new federal policing authority. This move distances the White House from a Federal Trade Commission push for new powers to police commercial Web sites for privacy violations. http://pcworld.com/pcwtoday/article/0,1510,16884,00.html PCWorld.com, 000524
>AOL Error Underscores Spam Filter Challenge
As more spam floods the net, service providers are looking for new methods of filtering mail for their customers. But the line between over and under-filtering is a thin one, as AOL and email list service Topica recently found out. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-1923514.html CNet.com, 000524
>Potato-Powered Web Server?
It was the crew at Slashdot that first clued us in to this funny little experiment: a Web server powered by potatoes. Yes, as in the vegetable. We'd make the obvious joke about their server getting fried by the attention, but we have better taste than that.
