Resources for CGI Scripts
CGI ("Common Gateway Interface") is a scripting technology for web servers. CGI is supported on most common web server software, although not all web hosts provide access to CGI. The main alternatives to CGI are PHP or ASP scripting.
CGI scripts can be written in many different programming languages, but most CGI scripts are written using the Perl programming language.

- Notes:
Product Description: JavaScript is the language of the web, used in programming all the major browsers. It is a powerful scripting language that lets web developers produce more powerful, more user-friendly and more interactive web pages, and with the release of the Version 5 browsers its power will become even greater. JavaScript is not just for client-side, however; it's increasingly finding favour as a server side programming language- in Microsoft's ASP technology- and as a programming language for administration tasks with applications such as the Windows Scripting Host. This book covers the broad spectrum of programming JavaScript - from the core language to browser applications and server-side use to stand-alone and embedded JavaScript. It includes a guide to the language - when where and how to get the most out of JavaScript - together with practical case studies demonstrating JavaScript in action. Coverage is bang up-to-date, with discussion of compatability issues and version differences, and the book concludes with a comprehensive reference section. |
