11. easy to use

13. but don't enforce them

19. Mojolicious Easy to Start With use Mojolicious :: Lite ; get '/' => { text => 'Hello World!' }; app -> start ;

20. Mojolicious Easy to use $r -> route ( '/home' )-> to ( 'example#welcome' ) ; Controller: package MyApp :: Example ; use Mojo :: Base 'Mojolicious::Controller' ; sub welcome { my $self = shift ; # Render template "example/welcome.html.ep" with message $self -> render ( message => 'Welcome to Mojo!' ) ;} 1 ;

21. Mojolicious Easy to extend # Everything can be customized with options my $config = $self -> plugin ( yaml_config => { file => 'conf/config.yaml' , stash_key => 'conf' , class => 'YAML::XS' } ) ; $self ->{ config } = $config ; Controller #access to the configuration hash ref $self -> app ->{ config }

22. Mojolicious Facilitates best practices # Simple "resource" shortcut, because RESTful apps are a safe bet $r -> add_shortcut ( resource => sub { my ( $r , $name ) = @_ ; # Generate "/$name" route my $resource = $r -> route ( "/$name" )-> to ( "$name#" ) ; # Handle POST requests $resource -> post -> to ( '#create' )-> name ( "create_$name" ) ; # Handle GET requests $resource -> get -> to ( '#show' )-> name ( "show_$document" ) ; return $resource ; } ) ; # POST /user -> {controller => 'user', action => 'create'} # GET /user -> {controller => 'user', action => 'show'} $r -> resource ( 'user' ) ; # POST /document -> {controller => 'document', action => 'create'} # GET /document -> {controller => 'document', action => 'show'} $r -> resource ( 'document' ) ;

23. Mojolicious But don't enforce them #code is self explanatory $r -> delete ( '/get/stuff/21/:k' )-> to ( 'static#_doWhat_I_mean_NOW' ) ;

28. Makes them behave in nice, concerted manners

33. Learn Perl and Mojolicious

34. Implement it

35. Profit!!!
