NAME¶

Mojolicious::Guides - Mojolicious guide to the galaxy

DON'T PANIC!¶

We are constantly working on new documentation, follow us on Twitter <http://twitter.com/kraih>, GitHub <http://github.com/kraih/mojo> or join the official IRC channel "#mojo" on "irc.perl.org" to get all the latest updates.

LEARNING PERL¶

If you are new to Perl, we recommend Learn Perl in 2 hours 30 minutes <http://qntm.org/files/perl/perl.html> for a quick introduction, or the Modern Perl book <http://modernperlbooks.com/books/modern_perl/>, freely available in many formats. Both are excellent introductions to the language. For more books and documentation, check out learn.perl.org <http://learn.perl.org/>.

SCREENCASTS¶

Before starting with the tutorial below, you should take a look at the wonderful Mojocasts <http://mojocasts.com/e1>, they will give you a general overview of what Mojolicious is all about.

TUTORIAL¶

Mojolicious::Lite

A fast and fun way to get started developing web applications with Mojolicious is the Mojolicious::Lite tutorial. This micro web framework is only a thin wrapper around the normal web framework, so almost everything you learn here also applies to full Mojolicious applications. The simplified notation introduced in the tutorial is commonly used throughout the guides and is therefore considered a prerequisite, you should definitely take a look!
