CGILua: A Multi-Paradigmatic Tool for Creating Dynamic WWW Pages
Abstract
The dramatic growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web creates great demand for tools to support the construction and maintenance of WWW sites. CGILua intends to simplify the task of creating dynamic Web pages, supporting three different paradigms for describing dynamic Web pages: Programming, templates, and database. Besides fully supporting these three paradigms, the user can also freely mix them, allowing the use of CGILua in new interesting ways, even in the description of static pages. CGILua is fully implemented, and is already being used in industrial sites.
Keywords:
HTML, WWW, CGI, dynamic pages
