Web Programming by printf()

An anonymous reader writes "Art & Logic has posted an article titled 'Why CGI is Evil'. CGI might be an obvious way to create a simple web application, but this article provides some excellent high-level reasons why CGI rarely makes long-term sense. A nice review especially for new web programmers."

  1. C in CGI by weicco · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well, C isn't propably the safest language BUT... I really think that people should learn how to write code and "safe" code. All of these nice features to prevent buffer overflows and stuff like that isn't really the answer IMO. I think it's just a great way to procude bad coders (maybe Java coders :P )
