This is the project for which I used FastCGI: gwrdifpk

It's a client-server application. FastCGI is really simple and I like programming in C or C++ and have never felt like learning PHP or Perl, although I have nothing against them. I hate Java just about as much as I do IDEs.

It also uses a MySQL database, which I access using the MySQL's C interface. I always use C interfaces in preference to C++ interfaces.

This program may have been written for the wastepaper basket, but I learned and used several interesting techniques for it. It also uses cryptography and GnuTLS with X.509 certificates. So, the German taxpayers paid for me to learn lots of interesting things.
