Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Once in a while a book comes along that covers an area of development that has previously been largely ignored. MySQL and Perl for the Web provides a rare, in-depth coverage of Web development using the combination of both MySQL and Perl, illustrating practical application development possibilities using this popular duo.

The book is perfect for developers of Web sites running on Apache on Unix. Loyalties vary in terms of operating systems, Web servers, and scripting languages but those who find their home in the Unix and Perl environments will find this book right up their alleys. The target audience is developers somewhat familiar with Perl and the Unix-based Web server environment, but you'll find the book illustrative even if your knowledge is sketchy.

After showing how to make database connections using Perl and MySQL, author Paul DuBois dives into some useful real world examples to help you build your skills. He shows how to implement a simple to-do list application, an on-line product registration site, contests, on-line polls, image databases, an on-line greeting card service and more. There is also excellent coverage of search facilities and session management.

The sample code for the applications in this text is presented in small pieces in context with the discussion; most of the space is devoted to explanations of the issues and implementation. All of the code is available, however, from the book's companion Web site. This tutorial is an excellent way for Perl developers to move to the next level of development and make the most of some powerful, free tools. --Stephen W Plain

Product Description

MySQL and Perl for the Web provides a much-needed handbook for database and Web developers seeking an extensive and detailed guide for using the combination of MySQL and Perl to build dynamic and interactive database-backed Web sites. It shows how to use Perl's DBI database access module, pairing it with with the CGI.pm module that allows Web pages and forms to be generated and processed easily. These tools provide developers with a solid foundation for creating applications that incorporate database content to create dynamic, up-to-date Web sites.

The book employs a practical learn-by-doing approach that demonstrates development techniques by building complete applications, not just fragmentary pieces. It shows what to do at each step of the way during the process of building live, working examples. Applications are fully explained so you can understand how they work and apply the techniques they illustrate to your own projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book., 13 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I loved Paul DuBois "MySQL" book he wrote about a year ago, and love this one just as much. Being that I had read his first MySQL book I had a small background knowledge of MySQL. This book still had tons of indepth information that I didn't even know. The thing is, this book shows you more then one way to do things, since programming consists of many different ways to get the job done. He has tons of examples he wrote, but their not just examples for the sake of examples, he breaks them down into smaller peices and explains what each line does, and how to do it a different way if you choose. Excelent book, personally Paul DuBois and New Riders Publishing are on my favorites list for when I go book shopping. I do however recommend you reading Paul DuBois "MySQL" before trying to tackle this book, its not a "Begginers Book" but if your fairly technologically inclined it could be. I recommend reading the forward to see if you have what it takes, if you don't go pickup "MySQL" from Paul and NewRiders, by far my favorite book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read and extremely useful !, 20 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Having previously purchased Paul Dubois' MySQL book also published by New Riders, I felt that I had to move forward with my knowledge of MySQL and Perl. This book fits the bill perfectly. Great introduction and further knowledge can be gained from a well written and informative book. But it !
