Description:

If there wasn't already an omnibus Bible series, the publisher might have had to call this one CGI and Everything Else about the Web. Although more information is usually better than less, this book incorporates so much extra material--HTML, SGML, Vannevar Bush, multimedia, hypertext theory, site hosting, you name it--that the CGI information almost gets lost. This book would be half its present size and significantly handier if the non-CGI stuff were removed.

The CGI coverage in CGI Bible is fair, with good explanations of all the methods and environment variables, as well as some worthwhile CGI theory and troubleshooting material. However, the how-to-program chapters take the form of tired recitations about commenting and reusability and the important CGI libraries get only cursory attention. The brightest part of this package is the CD-ROM, which contains some useful CGI programs.
