The book does not focus on algorithms or model patterns at all. Instead, this book is for web developers. The reader must be interested with the Web world without (especially) being an expert in making web applications. However, a good understanding of third-tier applications over HTTP will be a plus.

The skills required are as few as the prerequisite knowledge required is less. The reader should be familiar with object-oriented languages and have some notion of client-side technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.
