Re: Mixing GET and POST Methods

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, my book was written two years ago as well.  #2 is on
the way.  So yes, I was comaring to the original.  (It takes
a little longer for a book to get out.. which is why I keep
my source updated on my source page, and no signups either!
And one click downloads!).

What, in your eyes Jon, is extra special about CGIDEV2?
What is in it that couldn't be done by knowing the APIs,
SQL, HTML, Javascript, etc?  Which is exactly what the
message said that I replied to.

Would knowing how to do these things be more valuable, or
are the tools?

I'm not trying to take away from CGIDEVx either, I guess
it's the programmer in me that would rather know how to do
it than to have it done for me.
