Perl was originally created as a programming tool for Unix, but the emergence of the Web has thrust Perl into the mainstream. Perl 5 has become the language of choice for creating CGI scripts to add interactivity to Web sites. JavaScript is Netscape's popular scripting language for building interactive Web applications and is often used in combination with Perl.

Don't Bother...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perl, Cgi, and Javascript Complete (Paperback)
I like Sybex's idea of giving the reader 1,000 pages of info for under [price]. But this book is not well executed: there are innumerable mistakes littering this book, but the website lists only one entry in the "errata." And these are mistakes that can frustrate a newbie (e.g., the book says that UNIX PATH varibale has a ';' delimiter when actually it is a ':', etc.) Also, the reference section for Perl modules leaves out any mention of CGI.pm -- a very important module. Both sections leave the reader wondering just what level of expertise the authors have.I would not recommend this book.

Book for Advanced Reference,
By "angelroxz" (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perl, Cgi, and Javascript Complete (Paperback)
This is a very dry reading. It holds a lot of information but not fit for the learning point of view, it is set up more to be a reference for the already advanced jscript/perl/cgi programmer. The layout is not created up well enough to display samples, and only makes you more confused as you get further into the book. I found myself reading pages over 2 or 3 times before one page would make sense with the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Typical Sybex approach to making difficult topics easy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perl, Cgi, and Javascript Complete (Paperback)
Despite some basic concept familiarization, I was horribly intimidated by JavaScript and Perl. This book does a great job of introducing and hand walking you through difficult concepts and ideas - building a little at a time - Great desk reference... Recommended to some friends and bought as a gift for others!
