Book description:
If raw speed were the only concern, Web performance problems could be solved simply by upgrading hardware or adding additional servers. Unfortunately, real-world Web sites, which are ever more central to many business practices, are also limited by budgets, tight timelines, and limited resources. Still, these systems need to be fast. Thus, new techniques are needed to add enterprise-class performance to Web applications on a shoestring budget. "Perl for the Web" provides tools and strategies to improve the performance of existing Web applications in Perl with case studies and real-world examples. It also provides principles and ideas that help Web programmers create an extensible framework for future growth. Special attention is given to upcoming technologies, including integration, the wireless Web, and XML-based automation, with an eye toward using existing tools to address the challenges of tomorrow's applications.
With "Perl for the Web," you will learn how to:
-Evaluate the performance of existing Web sites
-Identify performance bottlenecks quickly
-Improve the performance of dynamic sites with Perl
-Accelerate database-backed Web sites
-Test performance improvements consistently
-Identify problem areas in Web application development
-Implement reusable templates for faster site development
-Manage and publish XML-based content on the Web
-Implement B2B solutions with Perl and XML
-Develop next-generation Web services using XML and SOAP
