Scientific web publishing

In AmsTex a mathematical version of TeX I could write the most complex scientif formulas. Later came Scientific Word that made it even easier to write scientific documents. Now, Wolfram Reasearch, the company that created scientific word have created their own mathematical search engine WolframAlpha where you can write in query strings like cosinus 1 that give very nice results that you may wan't to publish on your own blog. (As a side note, observe that the results can be downloaded as a PDF document). You may think that the natural thing to do is to use

I have seen how scientific word documents like the one explaining the well known Kalman filter has been published on Wikipedia and ofte wondered how that is done on Wikipedia and WordPress powered blogts. Most probably a script like PhpMathPublisher is used. The following links direct you to various online articles that explain the details.

On the way to transclusion

Transclusion is an ideal way to cite in web documents. As far as I know the full potential of existing web standards have not yet been implemented in any web browser. If you look at the source of this article you will note that the above link has a name, an id and an href with a # in it. That makes it easy for external sites to parse this text and link to it. I liked this

I can't quite "picture" how this would appear to a reader. Do you have a couple of sites that we could look at it working? Sample Javascript code that we could use on our sites to test using transclusion to incorporate external webpages would be a bonus!

Object oriented programming was invented in Norway. I have bought a lot of books on the subject. And I have a hoster where I can change PHP version by clicking a radio button in the cPanel. I can even choose PHP version at the folder level by a few commands in the .htaccess file for that folder. That hoster support both MySQL and PostGreSQL. Very few of the books I buy function seamlessly. So if you can not make the code in your book function, even by changing PHP version and database, don't claim it is object oriented. And when I look at the database sequrity implemented in some of these books (I know it is a book), but you could at least move the database connenction (function or class) above the applications folder.

Some hints if you intend to write a programming book with code download. Tell which platform the code was tested on, the folder structure and any specific configuration. As a minimum supply an online errata where bug fixes can be found. The time for you that writes a book is valuable, but so is it for the potential buyers.

Below I have listed Larry Ullman's Book "PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites" that uses some object oriented features at a very high level, but don't claim to be object oriented. I got some problems using PHP 5.2.9 (the default installation at my hoster). But the book is about PHP 6 and when I changed to PHP 6.0.0-dev, everything functioned correctly if you got the folder structure that is aslo explained in the book correct. Excellent job Larry Ullman. The book and his forum is listed here as a Unicode resource, and it is, since it has outstanding chapters on Unicode and developing multilingual sites. In addition we list some important pages from the PHP manual (it is so good that it can be written like a book) and other related pages.
