Learning the Web Shell
The World’s First Browser-Native Shell
Published by: Aestiva Press
ISBN: 0-9749081-1-8
Welcome to Learning the Web Shell. This book describes the Web-based shell, a new kind of user interface (UI), that until now has not been available to Web developers.
The Web shell is a Web-based implementation of the shell concept. It is written in H2O, a secure, cross-platform scripting language. It parses the commands the user submits and responds to the commands accordingly. When a user submits a command, it is interpreted and executed through this scripting language. The result is a platform-independent product that does not rely on any shell functionality native to the host.
The Web shell was designed for use as a file-management system as well as a Web development tool. As a file-management system, the Web shell has file manipulation capabilities similar to those of a traditional shell. These basic shell operations, include adding, deleting, moving, and renaming files and directories within the Web sandbox, and more advanced capabilities, such as text file manipulation, searching, and file processing. This book covers the commands available in the Web shell as well as how to use these commands to create Web applications and to manage Web systems.
