Hi Keith, I am writing what started out as a small tutorial on Gambas3 and has turned into a book. CGI is one of my topics that I will be covering. I haven't started that section yet but I can expedite it for you. Or perhaps you'd like to collaborate on this section?... I am an old programmer but fairly new to Gambas so I too am learning and wanted to share what I have learned with others... While some disagree with me, I find the documentation on Gambas lacking... So I decided to create the tutorial. It will be released Creative Commons in PDF and in Print on Lulu.com for a fee to cover printing.
The books is divided into three major sections: Section 1: Learning to Program -- Lessons on programming in general. While mostly procedural in nature, I cover very basic topics like data types and sizes, what a program is, etc... This section is aimed to be used in an instructional format for someone who has no or little programming experience. Section 2: Basic Programming and The Gambas3 Basic Language. Covers more advanced topics like string manipulation, math functions, GUI applications etc... section 3: Advanced Gambas Programming: Covers advanced topics like CGI, graphics, OpenGL, Scientific computing, Using external libraries to extend Gambas, etc... I currently have about 350 pages that I am sure can be condensed down considerably, once edited. So if you have any thoughts or an idea for CGI applications let me know. It is possible and I have done CGI apps in C and C++. Gambas is just another language that with it's Basic Syntax should make it easier to write cgi apps.

The answer is YES, it can always be done. The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will it take? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
