Customer Review: Fairly good content, but hideously organized. The book jumps all over the place and really lacks the coherence I've come to expect from O'Reilly books. I used "Learning Perl" to get pretty good with Perl in two weeks. The book on HTML is terrific as well. A good "Learning CGI" book to lead into this... more info
Customer Review: I bought this book when I first started designing web pages. That was 5 years ago and I still find this book helpful and easy to use. It is a great starting point for persons interested in web design. It has useful examples (I am still using some of these) to help get started.

Customer Review: Well-written and an excellent guide, Ablee goes into detail of every stage of making a CGI film. Essential for anyone who is even considering making a film, especially if your primary program will be Lightwave.
Customer Review: I have spent approx. $500 on Perl/CGI books and I will tell you that this is the best concise treatment available. There is no other book that provides as good an overview without leaving out critical issues, such file locking and security considerations. It remains my most frequently used... more info
