Year's Best CGI Tutorial/Reference Technical Guide.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Cgi Programming With Perl in a Week (Sams Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
Recently, after examining a number of CGI/Perl type books, I
purchased a wonderful instructional book titled,"Teach Yourself
CGI Programming with Perl in a Week" by Eric Herrman. I had
no prior experience with CGI or Perl, but had gained an interest
in the subject after talking to several friends at my work
place. After reading this book, I have written several CGI
scripts that are currently being used in my department. This
book is organized into seven lessons that correspond to the
seven days of the week. I found day one (the introduction)
to be a little technical and over my head, but the author
explained that this information would be covered in detail
in the Chapters to follow. Once I made it to day two I was
on the road to becoming a CGI script programmer. The Author
makes excellent use of visuals andworking programs to explain
how Web Pages interact with CGI Scripts and then back to the
Web. The author explained that he chose Perl as the language
for writing the CGI scripts because it works well with UNIX
environments, but the scripts could be written in a number of
languages. Upon completion of this book I felt very comfortable
with Perl as a primary programming language and would highly
suggest this book to anyone that is interested in programming
with the Web. My only suggestion to anyone that is considering
to purchase this book is that unless they have a lot of spare
time, be prepared to spend more than one week to complete this
book. I read this book in my leisure after work and I estimate
that it took me two weeks to complete the reading and feel
confident in my knowledge.

An INCREDIBLE learning resource for beginners!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Cgi Programming With Perl 5 in a Week (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)
The amount of snotty, degrading comments on this book can only lead me to believe that the authors were not able to grasp the simplest of instructions and are taking their anger out on this book.Quite simply, this is an INCREDIBLE book; well-written, funny, and comprehensive. Not only do you learn about CGI, you also learn Perl, SSI, some nice HTML tricks and lots of information about web servers. The CD includes full websites, tons of scripts, and lots of basic programs you'll need if you plan to set up your own server. GET THIS BOOK! You won't regret it. *Unless you're too dense to read simple english...*

Not good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Cgi Programming With Perl 5 in a Week (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)
this book is so all over the place, you'll need to make your own personal table of contents to make any sense of it. The book seems like a rush job, pieced together by pages of unrelated information. If you feel like having your head spin and ending up with a migraine, check it out! I'd be ashamed to be the author.
