Programming Web Graphics with Perl and GNU Software by Shawn P Wallace
This text shows intermediate and advanced Web designers how to use CGI scripts to generate dynamic graphic content. It aims to demystify the manipulation of graphics formats for newcomers to the Web.
'..is a cross between a how to manual and an idea book. It will empower readers in the often mystical area of graphic creation and suggest new ways to give web sites lively, dynamic content, all without spending a penny on software. 454 pages are hardly enough to provide a thorough course in every tool mentioned, but in each case there is enough material to lift the reader to basic confidence, and the references to take them further. Although without some knowledge of Perl it might be intimidating, the text should be accessible to the complete graphics novice. Shawn Wallace has written an excellent book on a topic which deserves it."'--Gavin Inglis, news@UK, June 2000
