Unit Description

This unit will be a comprehensive guide to compare programming on the world wide web, concentrating on the 'common gateway interface' (CGI). The unit will provide an introduction to the language PERL, concentrating on its use as a CGI language. The unit will also provide a basis for the construction, and maintenance of web sites with dynamic web pages. The unit will show how to debug CGI applications (common errors, coding techniques, debugging tools), as well as how to write better CGI applications (efficiency and optimization).
