Some TekBlend Benefits

For individual Developer and Organizations

No need to include code in HTML document. Most people venture into including Perl into their HTML source to make their pages dynamic. With Perl, web developers have at their disposal, powerful tools that they are able to use to customize their site’s look and feel. This, however, comes at a price. Front-end source, which was once simple to maintain and debug, now has a potential to be very complex and unmanageable.   

TekBlend tackles this problem thru its template system. TekBlend template system organized around special tags that are HTML extensions enabling you to retrieve data from a Perl module. You provide the Perl module with the page layout it takes care of the substitutions for you.

HTML can include data from multiple Perl modules. You no longer have to build a complicated CGI script to build complex web pages. With the TekBlend engine, you can build individual Perl modules or components that are designed to provide access and logic to a specific type of data. For each section from which you need data, you specify in your template code the component from which you want the data to come from and TekBlend will take care of putting them together. Building and debugging Perl code will become simpler because each module has a specific purpose in mind and there is no need to look at it until there is a need to revise it.

Perl code organized into component-based modules. Developing for TekBlend means building individual Perl modules dedicated to a specific task, instead of building one big module that processes everything. Each module is designed to be an independent unit, providing specialized data and logic. With this design, you are able to associate multiple views for every module that you build. Moreover, building, maintaining and debugging is made easy because all relevant code is in one small package.

There is the way to integrate existing CGI script output and HTML pages. TekBlend is able to include your existing web pages within the template files, giving you a backward compatible solution to your current site. You will be able to use your current source whether you opt to update them, replace them or keep them as is.

For Organizations

Easy front and back end supportability.  In TekBlend world web architecture separated into two main components front interface and back end processing. Either one of components can be modified independent on each other. Front end can change the GUI design with out any coordination with back end. Back end processes can be improved and optimised with out influencing the front interface functionality. Any changes related to both environments can be easily established through technical specifications.

Security and Integrity. TekBlend approach also brings security into web project development and support.  Solid line between front and back end helps to reduce risk of destroying either components because of minor changes. It also provides opportunity to restrict front end access to sensitive data, since it can be highly secured on the back side of application.
