Sams Teach Yourself CGI in 24 Hours

by Richard Colburn

From Book News, Inc.
      "A tutorial of 24 lessons of one hour or less. Each lesson builds on the previous one, allowing readers to learn essentials from the ground up. Focus is on using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to develop Web applications, within the context of essentials of designing and building Web applications in any platform. Most examples are written in Perl. Includes chapter summaries, questions, and exercises. Colburn is a site architect in the private sector, and has written several computer tutorial books."

CGI is an important aspect of the web and web development. It's really a step beyond simple HTML Web pages. This book covers implementing CGI with both C and Perl, and it discusses CGI's relative strengths and weaknesses in comparison with other Web programming technologies like JavaScript, Java, and PHP. The book takes you from the basics of CGI--learning, for example, how to implement and customize existing CGI programs that have been written by others--to the point where you can use CGI to create your own automated applications.
