Summary (03)

This chapter rapidly introduced the basics behind CGI programming. You create output by formatting your data correctly and printing to stdout. Receiving CGI input is slightly more complex because it must be parsed before it can be used. Fortunately, several libraries already exist that do the parsing for you. (04)

You should feel comfortable programming CGI applications at this point. The rest of this book is devoted to providing more details about the specification and offering tips and strategies for programming advanced, sophisticated applications. (05)
