[thechat] C Programming and the web

[Daniel Wood]

What are you trying to accomplish? Dr Dobbs had a good article a couple of
months ago on making C++ servlets:
http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=7027/ddj0204f/0204f.htm

However if you are just learning standard C, this may take some time to
digest.
You can also write cgi apps in C, but again it all depends on what you are
trying to accomplish. For standard web apps something like PHP and a
standard sql database are easier to debug, however if you want to get into
web services or similar type distributed applications over the web c or java
would probably give you more coding flexibility.

Hey,

I'm just getting into C programming. I understand that C is very fast,
and very powerful. How difficult is it to get C programs to interact
with a web page? With mySQL? Or with a PHP page? Or is this what Perl's
for?

Thanks,

Beau
