TITLE: Using Revolution as a CGI
AUTHOR: Dan Shafer
DESCRIPTION: CGIs are by and large what make the Web come alive. They handle input from users filling out forms on Web pages, gather and update database content, personalize the Web experience, and track-shopping cart purchases. Until now, you had to learn Perl or C/C++ or some other low-level language to write CGIs. No more. Revolution, a Very High-Level Language (VHLL), allows you to write CGIs using a friendly English-like syntax. This book takes you step by step through understanding CGIs, installing the Revolution CGI engine on your Web server, and writing CGI scripts to be invoked by people visiting your (or your client's) Web site. Like all Shafer Media SmartEBooks™ and SmartEBooklets™, this title keeps itself current automatically every time you use it.
