Build next-generation, high-performance Web sites with the safety and comfort of Perl.
No book on the market addresses the scalability, reliability, and monitoring requirements of todays Perl-based Web sites
Perl for the Web will help Perl programmers build sites that load quickly. As a report has shown that Web consumers do not wait more than 8 seconds for a web page to load-breaking the "8-second rule" results in non-competitive Web sites
This title provides an extensible framework for future growth, including coverage of business-to-business communication and XML Perl for the Web provides the tools and principles needed to design a high-performance, dynamic Web site using Perl. Special attention is given to templates, integration, and load testing. Topics covered include the need for speed, document management with templates and embedded Perl, faster performance using persistent Perl, good Web coding style, faster database access from Perl, and pairing XML with Perl for content management and B2B communication. Emphasis is placed on robust, scalable solutions for dynamic database-backed, template-based or XML-based Web sites. The books focus on optimization is a unique approach. Readers of this book should be able to build a high-performance Perl-based Web solution as well as recommend one with confidence.
Chris Radcliffe is a Perl programmer and Chief Evangelist at VelociGen Inc., a Web software company that specializes in performance solutions for Internet business. He has been programming in Perl since 1993, and designing Web sites since 1995. Chris specializes in using Perls glue capabilities to integrate existing applications and processes with database-backed Web sites. Examples include USAopoly.com and an intranet site for the Alzheimers Disease Cooperative Study, which gives researchers around the world real-time access to distributed study information. He has spoken with many developer groups and has given tutorials at the WebLA and Web2000 conferences. His latest project at VelociGen is developing VelociGenX, a graphic client and server for developing high-performance XML-based applications, is developed entirely in persistent Perl, including the Web-based client interface.
