Perl & CGI Books for Web Site Developers
This Lübeck Haus Bookstore catalogue page has Perl and CGI tutorial books. These book were chosen because they present
the scripting information in a clearly understood manner and use good illustrations, screen shots, and complete code examples.
These books are intended for web developers, web designers, students, teachers, and anyone who is interested in learning
Common Gateway Interface(CGI) programming. You do not need any programming experience to begin. If you can write HTML, you
can also learn how-to write CGI programs. CGI is programming for the web and is the method by which a web server can obtain
data from, or transmit data to, databases, web documents, and to other programs, and present that data to viewers on the web.
A CGI program can be written in any programming language, but Perl is by far the most popular, and virtually all CGI programming
is done using a language named Perl.
Perl is an acronym which stands for "Practical Extraction and Report Language." With its database, network, and multi-platform
capabilities, the Perl programming language has emerged as an ideal tool for developing CGI-based Web applications. Perl was
developed by a programmer named Larry Wall to simplify the process of scanning text files (such as a simple text database on your
server or user input coming from a form on your website), extracting and manipulating that information, and printing reports
(or web pages) based on that information. Programming in Perl is popular because the language does not have to be compiled. No
messing with painful linker commands. No compilation steps at all. Perl works well with and even looks like C, which is the most
popular programming language in the world. Perl is a programming language that works on almost any operating system. If you change
platforms from Unix to Windows, NT, or Mac, your programs will still run fine. And Perl is to learn, easy to work with, has built-in
security features, and operates relatively fast.
Keep in mind, CGI is the standard to which every Web servers has had to respond. CGI knowledge and experience is in high
demand from some employers. One could substantially improve their income and job opportunities by learning to code CGI effectively.
