Reviews

The essence of interactivity on the Internet is the form, which collects data from the client and sends it to the server, where the data is processed and stored and a response is sent back to the client. Guthrie's book looks good, but it also has excellent instruction on using forms with scripting languages, HTML, .pdf pages, and cgis. Guthrie also provides an excellent collection of projects to illustrate his points, ranging from the 1040 Tax form to an example of forms used for university course enrollment. This is not a beginner's book, but webmasters will love it.
