Databases
(Realms: 1)
mySQL has PERLs. How 'bout yours? One of the keys to ecommerce sites and customer interactivity is the simple database. They can provide targeted information, on demand. A good database programmer is worth their weight in CPUs. They have to balance server loads, response times, and data integrity, all while keeping an eye on the bottom line. Our
guides have put together links to the most up-to-date information on using them in online applications. You can explore our own little knowledge base on the subject right here.
Internet Programming

guides have chosen to take on... Look here for the real scoop on the code that makes it all happen.

Languages
(Realms: 1)
Listening to some programmers, you'd think the Tower of Babel was constructed in cyberspace.
There are specialized languages for nearly every sort of project, and others that are more easily "ported" (loosely translated, that means translated) to different platforms or operating systems.
Choosing the right one, or finding the latest tips and tools for it, can be a challenge. We've put together the best resources for the major languages, in one compact space, where all the language is "PC."
Perl
The language of champions. PERL is the most commonly used scripting language for web sites across the world. It will handle virtually everything you need to make your server do. And some that you probably haven't considered yet. For all the latest in libraries, code snippets, tips and techniques, check out the resources assembled by our PERL
guides. They're real gems. (OUCH!)
