Product Description
72775-0 The first end-to-end development guide for CGI programmers, with more than 50 complete and commented programs on CD-ROM! CGI Developer's Resource is the perfect guide to CGI programming for experienced developers. In this book, CGI experts J.M. Ivler and Kamran Husain present the first end-to-end methodology for CGI implementation. They focus extensively on CGI problem definition, helping developers understand the common elements shared by most CGI problems, and the best Tcl and Perl techniques for solving those problems. The book reviews CGI's role in the client/server model used by Web-based systems, security, transaction and state. It also looks at the role that language selection doesn't play in resolving these three-tiered client-server solutions. Next, CGI Developer's Resource walks through the construction of more than ten practical CGI applications-first with Tcl, and then with Perl. You'll encounter virtually every major class of CGI problem as you build: *Data file and E-mail front ends *Calendar applications *Intranet "white pages" directories *Intranet system management utilities, and more.C GI Developer's Resource includes detailed coverage of both client and server-side issues. It shows how to optimize and manage Web servers used for CGI processing; use cookies to customize the information you deliver; improve security; and work with log files. It even touches on where the future might lead, and provides a resource directory. If you want to leverage your programming skills to deliver sophisticated Internet/intranet applications, CGI Developer's Resource will help you get the job done right.

Poorly written, poorly edited, poorly designed.
8 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
This was required reading for a web applications class. I am sorry I wasted money on it. The writing alternated between tedious and redundant. The editing was so bad I found typos in every page. The graphics looked like something out of an elementary school art project. More important, they interfered with the text and made it difficult to read. Every page was an eyesore. What little valuable information I could glean from the text wasn't worth the wading. The publisher should be ashamed. Midway through the course, I threw the book in a corner in disgust. Save your money.

Not useful
10 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
I too am sorry I spent the money on this one. I also noticed the bad production techniques on the graphics and found some sections to be very thin on the info. I was looking for (the guts of doing cgi-sendmail, not just the use of a cookbook module ...) I guess I'll just wait for the Black Book version coming out -- I've found these to be real good.

Great information, lousy design.
16 Oct 1997
Format:Paperback
I found much useful information in this book though it wasn't easy, wading through all the typos and sidebars which blended the backgroud color to the text color. Nearly unreadable. Mr. Ivler's book was not done justice by this publisher.
