Perl is an extremely powerful language that is used on thousands of Web servers for Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts, principally because of its unmatched text manipulation capabilities. However, mastering the syntax of Perl is legendarily difficult with its Unix legacy, which favors cryptic--though efficient--syntax. Jon Orwant's Perl 5 Interactive Course is an excellent tutorial for learning the basics of Perl quickly. It lays a foundation and then builds on it to make you a Perl expert. |
An important guide for developing dynamic content and forms to add impact and interaction to Web sites. Brenner is the author of cgi-lib.pl, the de facto standard library for creating CGI scripts with Perl. Used for everything from NASA space data to Byte Magazine's on-line comment box, this library makes CGI scripting intuitive and fun. |
Effective Perl Programming is a gem of a Perl book. Its author, Joseph Hall, is a well-known Perl instructor and frequent poster on the seminal comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup. The book's technical editor is none other than Randal Schwartz, noted Net personality, enigmatic author of Learning Perl, and contributor to Programming Perl. |
Nicely balanced treatment of CGI programming in both C, which has distinct performance advantages, and Perl, currently the most popular language for CGI. Written by the long-time maintainer of the Usenet comp.infosystems.www FAQ (and fellow Seattleite), Thomas Boutell. |
Readers will learn the logistics of how to create compelling, information-rich Web pages that grab readers' attention and keep users returning for more. This comprehensive professional instruction and reference guide for World Wide Web covers all aspects of the development processes, implementation, tools, and programming. |
This book is a step-by-step tutorial of how to create, use, and maintain Common Gateway Interfaces (CGI). It describes effective ways of using CGI as an integral part of Web development. |
This omnibus book does more than merely tell readers how to solve common CGI programming problems with the least possible hassle (which is no mean feat in itself). Special Edition Using CGI also explains CGI concepts and theory in a way that enables the reader to start figuring out additional solutions independently. |
If there wasn't already an omnibus Bible series, the publisher might have had to call this one CGI and Everything Else about the Web. Although more information is usually better than less, this book incorporates so much extra material--HTML, SGML, Vannevar Bush, multimedia, hypertext theory, site hosting, you name it--that the CGI information almost gets lost. This book would be half its present size and significantly handier if the non-CGI stuff were removed. |
Thank you, William E. Weinman. The CGI Book does something other CGI texts should take note of. Namely, it admits that CGI is not a huge topic and sets about explaining it in a clear, concise, and useful way without feeling obliged to make it fill a bigger book than it can. From the "Hello, World" program for CGI on the opening pages to the discussion of CGI security, this book is one that intermediate programmers will enjoy. |
This book is one of the first books to provide comprehensive information on developing with CGI (Common Gateway Interface). It covers many of the aspects of CGI including, interactivity, performance, portability, and security. After reading this book, the reader will be able to write robust, secure, and efficient CGI programs. |
CGI programming lets you build a variety of dynamic applications for Web sites. If you are already familiar with basic programming concepts and especially if you are comfortable with Unix, CGI Developer's Resource can get you up to speed with CGI quickly (even if you're not familiar with the specifics of developing for the Internet). With examples primarily in Perl and Tcl, J. M. Ivler shows how to pull off common Web tricks like sending form contents as e-mail, implementing counters, working with data files, and employing server-side includes. |
