Backend Subtopics:

Databases
If the information on your site changes by the minute (or the second), plain old HTML just won't do. Stay current by attaching a database to your Web pages. There are lots of ways to do it, and Webmonkey covers them all (or most of them, anyway).

Apache/XSSI
Apache is the world's most popular Web serving software. And XSSI (eXtended server-side includes), which is built into Apache, provides a method for browser detection and template building.

Unix
Most servers on the Net make use of one of the many varieties of Unix. If you'd like to set up your own server or learn the basics of the Unix command line, your techie friends at Webmonkey can help.

Security
The Web is great place to share information, but restricting access to that same info is a bear. We've got some tips for the security conscious.

Networks
Learn to put together your own network and fine-tune it for peak efficiency.

Protocols
IP, FTP, and HTTP are just a few of the many protocols that keep the Web functioning. Sort through the acronym soup and see how the Web really functions.
