Re^2: How do I mix up Perl and jQuery (for beginners)

I know, that it is unrealistic - and i said it to him from the start - so he should know... but he gave me the task anyway and i'm clearly not in the position to say "get someone else for this task who is better at it then i am".

I don't even know what "getting canned" mean . i tried to look it up in a dictionary but it doesn't make any sense... ^^

My boss also said exactly what programming-languages i have to use, so - although it looks nice - no twitter bootstrap for me...

What is Mojolicious btw? I've heard that a couple of times... I think i'm going to look it up.

"getting canned" == "terminated from employment". In other words, I do hope that your employer is reasonable, and not looking for a reason to let you go. Twitter Bootstrap is a CSS framework that uses jQuery. By using Bootstrap's Javascript features, you're pulling in jQuery, and using it. If you want to go beyond what Twitter Bootstrap provides, you have jQuery at your fingertips. But TB provides a lot already, and will save you a ton of time. Even if you only use it for dialogues and modals, it will save you time. Mojolicious is a server-side web framework. It facilitates Model/View/Controller style web design. It offers templating, routing, and a lot more. Dancer is another good alternative with low barriers to entry (although Mojolicious installs from a single tarball in under a minute). Both are pretty easy to learn. Catalyst is more of a chore to learn, but extremely powerful and configurable. With the power and configurability comes headaches. But it's a solid choice for large projects. Dave	[reply]
