by Sybex Inc (Editor), Sybex Paperback: 971 pages Dimensions (in inches): 2.19 x 8.25 x 5.94 Publisher: Sybex ISBN: 0782127800; 1st edition (July 5, 2000) In a world of overpriced programming books comes the best value of all time: Perl, CGI, and JavaScript Complete. With twice the page count and at half of price of similar volumes, Web programmers will never need another reference. The book features complete coverage of the key technologies that non-Microsoft programmers are using today to build interactive Web sites. It also includes references to Perl commands and modules, plus a JavaScript object reference. A reference book for Web developers to the most popular technologies for building Web sites. Includes Javascript fundamentals, advanced Javascript, Perl and CGI fundamentals, and Javascript and Perl references. Highlights the important skills needed to create interactive Web sites. Customer Reviews Don't Bother..., July 30, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Visalia, CA United States I like Sybex's idea of giving the reader 1,000 pages of info for under [price]. But this book is not well executed: there are innumerable mistakes littering this book, but the website lists only one entry in the "errata." And these are mistakes that can frustrate a newbie (e.g., the book says that UNIX PATH varibale has a ';' delimiter when actually it is a ':', etc.) Also, the reference section for Perl modules leaves out any mention of CGI.pm -- a very important module. Both sections leave the reader wondering just what level of expertise the authors have. I would not recommend this book. Typical Sybex approach to making difficult topics easy, August 22, 2000 Reviewer: A reader from Lehigh Acres, FL USA Despite some basic concept familiarization, I was horribly intimidated by JavaScript and Perl. This book does a great job of introducing and hand walking you through difficult concepts and ideas - building a little at a time - Great desk reference... Recommended to some friends and bought as a gift for others! |
