Title: Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide by Elizabeth Castro ISBN: 0-201-35358-X Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pub Co Pub. Date: 13 November, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.99 |

Summary: Excellent starter; useful reference into intermediate level
Comment: This is a great book for the intermediate to well-seasoned HTML coder who is looking to explore server-side scripting. Experience with regular programming helps to pick up the language even more quickly, although it is certainly not necessary. Having been introduced to the many uses of Perl/CGI after installing and using several scripts like those on the CGI Resource Index (http://www.cgi-resources.com), I was well aware of the practicality of what I was learning (after reading to chapter 3, I began writing Perl with a purpose, using the book only as a reference). I'm now very comfortable with the language, and have moved on to more advanced projects (and, consequently, more advanced resources). I HIGHLY recommend this book, as well as others in the Visual Quickstart series (especially those written by Elizabeth Castro).

Summary: Don't buy this book.
Comment: The book purports to be a visual quickstart guide. However, you will need a microscope to view the examples; which after close examination, you will find to be the same examples you can get for free on-line. The extensive use of deprecated code is more than just annoying, especially the code that was deprecated prior to publishing. The publishers should have caught that. Get the O'Reilly book instead: the one with the mouse on the cover.
Rating: 5
Summary: Perl For Newbies
Comment: Work in Windows or Mac? Want to find out how to do something with Perl and CGI on your computer under Windows or Mac? Excellent starter reference book. Ms. Castro tells you where to get the free programs you must have to do Perl and CGI on your own desktop before you try publishing on the Web.
Once you've gone through this book you'll need more (I've bought from Amazon: CGI Programming 101 {Jacqueline Hamilton} and Learning Perl {Schwartz and Phoenix}) but Castro's book will enable you to get set up, become familiar with Perl and CGI basics, and be ready to move on.
