CGI Perl database training

Do you have (or plan to build) a database? Do you want your users to access it with their web browsers? Are you building a new application? Need to breathe new life into a legacy application? If so, this course is for you.

Modernize your user interface! Make it accessible and easy and it will be popular and successful. The techniques presented in this course enable you to do all this without being bound to a platform (works with PCs and with Unix) or to a database (works with Oracle, Informix, Sybase, MS Access, MySQL, etc.)

This course presents tools and techniques for Perl programmers and webmasters to build CGI scripts that do lookups and updates on databases.
