Several years ago I downloaded & copied "The Django Book" but have never studied or used it, however within the contents I found the following;
"One of the simplest, most direct ways to build a Python Web app from scratch is to use the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) standard, which was a popular technique circa 1998. Here’s a high-level explanation of how it works: just create a Python script that outputs HTML, then save the script to a Web server with a ”.cgi” extension and visit the page in your Web browser. That’s it."
Why are all the tutorials that Im reading not illustrating that, or something similar?
And why are the tutorials not describing how Python should be integrated with HTML & CSS?
PHP illustrates precisely that.
