Customer Reviews Reviewer: Elaine Binns from Kansas City, USA I frustrated myself for half a year searching for information on CGI. There simply is nothing online and nothing else in print that will teach you Perl if you are not already a fairly seasoned programmer. This book made it simple and plain, rather than garbled and hard to follow. It leads you through many examples - they're great because they are common, real-world scripts. The cover price is a bit shocking for such a small book, but it is absolutely worth it. The books I bought before, all more expensive and larger, are only helpful to me now that I have read through this book. Some of them are still impossible to read because the authors just don't know how to write. The authors of this book are experts at explaining new concepts. Reviewer: Brian Donnelly from Portland, OR USA If you are interested in learning perl for web cgi functions this book rocks. Its the only one I have run into that gives examples of code and explains it line by line, in layman! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I could have used a few more examples. The book is toooo short. I warn potental readers that this book does not go into great detail about the perl language itself (which is useful for much more than web CGI) but if you don't care about that and want to dive into making forms and interactive web pages you have to buy this book now! Reviewer: jaymz411 I liked the book, and if you go to the website, you can download all the code for the examples. Reviewer: aranworld2 from Oakland, CA United States Most 'beginning' programming books are written by very experienced programmers who are often out of touch with how much the newbie does not know. Too often, certain key bits of knowledge are assumed and I found that too often, my mind was about ready to explode from frustration. I admit that I just didn't get it, whatever 'it' was. Then I found this book. It is extremely simple, but that is what I needed to get off the ground. Just as I learned to read from books by Dr. Seuss, I learned to program from reading this book -- it got me off the ground. Just remember that finishing this book does not make you a programmer -- its code examples are very simplified and full of security holes. On the other hand, this book will fill in the concepts that other books miss and you will finally be ready to take on the more complex books that WILL make you a programmer. |
