Wonderfull and very usefull to understand web commerce

A book that give to the siftware people a big understanding of web commerce. I apreciated the generous style that the autor offer to the reader.

Good information but written for computer geeks

Very nice information if I want to go to programmers school. Needs more of a what if content. No real trouble shooting. It has taken me almost 6 months to understand and it will take another six to setup on my server.

Best book about CGI so far, covers all topics.

It covers graphic generation, file access, DB management, security transaction. E-mail access... Enough topics, good details. There is a shopping-cart example, gives good reference for writing complex cgi program.

didn't even need to read the book!

Other reviews may slam this book and the included scripts, but I found the scripts to be documented very well and if one takes the time to read... it will all make sense. Well done! KUDO's

FANTASTIC! SAVED ME $1500.00

This is great. So many companies (Mercantec SoftCart) are trying to sell us packages for $1500 that do what this $30 book does. Not only do you save $1470 by getting this book, but you'll know your store inside-out, and be able to customize it however you'd like.
