3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing, September 11, 1997

By A Customer

I couldn't believe that the book goes through programs that aren't even on the CD. I went to use one of them, and it wasn't included (even though it specifically said it was). The CD is also supposed to include the Que book "Using CGI" but that wasn't included either. I have had this problem with other Que books too. I think that this is my last Que book. Overall, the content was fair and helped me solve some beginning problems with CGI. If I had to do it again, I would look for another CGI book that was more in depth.
