Programming the Perl DBI
Alligator Descartes, Tim Bunce / Paperback / Published February 2000
Price: $24.47 - Savings of: $10.48 (30%) - Ships in 24 hours
One of the greatest strengths of the Perl programming language is its ability to manipulate large amounts of data. Database programming is therefore a natural fit for Perl, not only for business applications but also for CGI-based Web and Intranet applications. The primary interface for database programming in Perl is DBI. DBI is a database-independent package that provides a consistent set of routines regardless of what database product is actually in use -- Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. The design of DBI is to separate the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the programmer's...

Introduction This book is intended for web designers, entrepreneurs, students, teachers, and anyone who is interested in learning CGI programming.

What is CGI? "CGI" stands for "Common Gateway Interface." CGI is the method by which a web server can obtain data from (or send data to) databases, documents, and other programs, and present that data to viewers via the web. More simply, CGI is programming for t...

CGI Programming with Tcl
David Maggiano / Paperback / Published December 1999
Price: $44.95 - Ships in 24 hours
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is an essential technology for the development of interactive Web pages. This rapidly growing field is one of the hottest areas of Internet development, and the Tool Command Language (Tcl) is ideally suited for all aspects of CGI development. Although Perl is currently the most popular language for CGI development, Tcl is an ideal development environment. Tcl's rich set of string manipulation commands and well-defined syntax greatly facilitate the dynamic creation of HTML documents, a key aspect of CGI programming. In addition to raw power, many extensions, s...
