Description: 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 Tel, 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. CGI 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.
