I wrote this book with tinkerers in mind—that is to say,tinkerers of various levels of familiarity with del.icio.us in particular and Web development skill in general.Whether you’re just getting on your way to being a power user at del.icio.us,or whether you’re a hardcore Web development guru who’s running your own hand-built blogging package,I hope you’ll find something of interest within these pages.
For some of the more in-depth programming examples provided in this book,you’ll need to have Web hosting or a server of your own—preferably one that includes hosting basic HTML with JavaScript and CSS includes,serving up PHP scripts,and possibly running Python programs.I’ve tried to keep the requirements light,so in general you won’t need access to a database.So,for instance,if you’ve been able to run your own installation of WordPress or Movable Type for your personal blog,you should have everything you need.
Otherwise,you should be fine with just a Web browser—my favorite is Firefox—and an interest in exploring del.icio.us and the universe of social bookmarking.
