Sat Dec 22 00:30:00 2012

Slides for the talk web-simple at ipw-2012

-

Web::Simple

-

Not really
about the
module

-

More about
how it makes
me think

-

More about
how it makes
me design

-

Web::Simple

-

  sub dispatch_request {
    my $self = shift;
    sub (GET + /) {
      $self->render('frontpage');
    }
  }

-

  sub (/users/...) {
    sub (*) {
      return unless my $user = $self->users->get($_[1]);
      sub (/edit) {
        sub (POST) {
          <process form>
        },
        sub () {
          <render edit screen>
        }
      }
      sub (/) { <render view screen> }
    },

-

Dispatchers
returning
dispatchers

-

  sub (/users/...) {
    $self->dispatch_users
  }

-

Dispatchers
can come from
anywhere

-

More
importantly

-

Dispatchers
aren't
important

-

Objects
Collections

-

App::EzPz

-

ezmlm list
moderation

-

Built from
the backend
forwards

-

CODE

-

Authentication

-

We make too
big a deal
out of it

-

Just a guard
condition

-

CODE

-

-

Web::Simple

-

IPW
2009

-

Antiquated
Perl

-

CORE::glob
overload::constant
prototype()

-

Turns out the
prototype thing
works well

-

-

App::SCS

-

Simple
Content
Server

-

Everything
is a plugin

-

No core
dispatchers

-

CODE

-

Separate
rendering

-

  $app->run_test_request($url)

-

Can re-use
for static
generation

-

CODE

-

Functional
wrappers

-

Middleware
at the app
level

-

Middleware
at the
rendering
level?

-

Multi stage
pluggable
rendering

-

CODE

-

Not sure
what my
point is

-

Function
composition
is good

-

Don't think
too much
about the
web part

-

Think about
your application

-

Think about
your objects

-

Design the
backend right

-

... and the
rest will
just flow

-

Hopefully
that made
some sense

-

Questions?
