Full Description

The World Wide Web is more than a place to put up clever documents and pretty pictures. With a little study and practice, you can offer interactive queries and serve instant information from databases, worked up into colorful graphics. That is what the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) offers. This book offers a comprehensive explanation of CGI and related techniques for people who hold on to the dream of providing their own information servers on the Web. Good scripting is not limited to a knowledge of CGI -- you need to know something about other programming tools that organize data and make the output look attractive. Gundavaram starts at the beginning, explaining the value of CGI and how it works, and takes you swiftly into the subtle details of programming. The book offers a comprehensive look at the job of providing information dynamically on the Web. For most of the examples, this book uses the most common platform (UNIX) and the most popular language (Perl) used for CGI programming today. However, it also introduces the essentials of making CGI work with other platforms and languages. The actual programming techniques are not too different from one platform and language to another; the lessons from this book can be applied to any tools you choose. Topics include:

Basic Perl techniques for parsing and output
Embedding Server Side Includes (SSI)
Graphics and simple animation
Forms and magic cookies
Gateways and SQL processing
Internet communications
Examples of games, imagemap manipulation, and other advanced applications

I used this book for my Masters Degree project (an English Masters degree, not a crappy American one) and I got a distinction. An excellent book.

I'm using a modified version of the "quiz" code for online
college courses, as well as snippets from other routines
throughout the book. I think it's a well-written book with
excellent Perl code, and it has taught me a lot about CGI.
