This review is from: Webmaster's Building Internet Database Servers With Cgi (Paperback)

I strongly agree with the author's comments here, and disagree with the 'synopsis'. The book presents some useful and interesting techniques, and is a broad overview of relevant material. It is not (nor does it try to be) a comprehensive introduction to SQL, Databases, Perl, HTTP, or CGI. It does tell you why those topics are useful and gives you pointers to more specific resources.

I didn't get as much out of this book as I'd hoped, but that's more because I already knew much of the material, rather than through any fault of the author. I would recommend this to a beginner to databases and web design, or to a manager questioning what is reasonable to attempt in putting a system onto the web.
