Review:Regular expressions are a central element of UNIX utilities like egrep and programming languages such as Perl. But whether you're a
UNIX user or not, you can benefit from a better understanding of regular expressions since they work with applications ranging from
validating data-entry fields to manipulating information in multimegabyte text files. Mastering Regular Expressions quickly covers the
basics of regular-expression syntax, then delves into the mechanics of expression-processing, common pitfalls, performance issues,
and implementation-specific differences. Written in an engaging style and sprinkled with solutions to complex real-world...

Review:Prince-like, this book insists on an unpronounceable title. In the interests of
usable referents, might we dispense with the suggested "that darned book" and
possibly come up with "Bang-Through-At-For"?
This book is a reference work. It details the various computer networks with
mail links or gateways to the "true" Internet. It is common to cite such works
as "indispensable": in fact, most users, and even site managers, muddle along
quite happily without it. Quick reference "electronic" versions exist of very
similar documents, which provide the addressing schemes for the more common
network and commercial service gateways. Also, once you know one CompuServe
Internet address, you know 'em all. Frey and Adams have, however, p...

Review:Sendmail might not be the heart of UNIX mail and communications services, but
it certainly is a good portion of the autonomic nervous system. Although
considered venerable by some, it is also extremely widely used. This book
hopes to make sendmail administration not only easy, but fun. Quite a task.
Part one of the book is tutorial in nature, starting with background
information in chapter one. We are given a brief history and philosophy of
sendmail, plus some description of the component parts, and the related
Internet RFCs (Request For Comment) and technologies. (RFCs, the name to the
contrary, are the descriptions of how Internet functions should work. In a
sense, they are the standards of the Internet.) Chapter two giv...

Review:An excellent book for expert programmers, CGI Programming on the World Wide Web doesn't waste time with miscellaneous or frivolous
topics, but instead focuses on the workings of the CGI specification down to the tiniest detail. Author Shishir Gundavaram begins by
explaining what CGI does--material that's probably familiar to most people reading this book. Fortunately, he promptly moves on to a
complete explanation of each of the CGI methods and environment variables. The author also pays attention to every language you could
conceivably want to use with CGI, especially ever-popular Perl.
But CGI is simple, and there...
