No Code Required - Giving Users Tools to Transform the Web

Revolutionary tools are emerging from research labs that enable computer users to customize and automate their use of the Web without learning how to program. This title presents the research, development, application, and impact of a variety of systems.

Report

"The web is becoming not only a venue for people to receive information but increasingly a place for them to create new forms of information and to share them. The transition in the role from being a passive consumer to an active consumer as well as contributor is made possible by exactly the kind of work described in this book." -- Dr. Margaret Burnett, Dept of Computer Science, Oregon State University
