72775-0 The first end-to-end development guide for CGI programmers, with more than 50 complete and commented programs on CD-ROM! CGI Developer's Resource is the perfect guide to CGI programming for experienced developers. In this book, CGI experts J.M. Ivler and Kamran Husain present the first end-to-end methodology for CGI implementation. They focus extensively on CGI problem definition, helping developers understand the common elements shared by most CGI problems, and the best Tcl and Perl techniques for solving those problems. The book reviews CGI's role in the client/server model used by Web-based systems, security, transaction and state. It also looks at the role that language selection doesn't play in resolving these three-tiered client-server solutions. Next, CGI Developer's Resource walks through the construction of more than ten practical CGI applications-first with Tcl, and then with Perl. You'll encounter virtually every major class of CGI problem as you build: *Data file and E-mail front ends *Calendar applications *Intranet "white pages" directories *Intranet system management utilities, and more.C
GI Developer's Resource includes detailed coverage of both client and server-side issues. It shows how to optimize and manage Web servers used for CGI processing; use cookies to customize the information you deliver; improve security; and work with log files. It even touches on where the future might lead, and provides a resource directory. If you want to leverage your programming skills to deliver sophisticated Internet/intranet applications, CGI Developer's Resource will help you get the job done right.
