Template driven content generation
Merging data and formatting requires some kind of logic engine behind it to
perform the variable substitution and component inclusion. That means a
programming language, API's and engineering to implement it. Cold Fusion,
ASP and numerous other plug-and-pray technologies for accomplishing this have
been devised. We'll discuss popular technologies for use with and wihtout
Apache here.
- Non-Apache Technologies
- PHP
- Servlets & JSP
- Python & Zope
- mod_perl & ...
We can't possibly cover all of the possibilities here but hopefully we've looked
at all of the important ones. ASP didn't even make the list since it ties you
too closely to limited and proprietary Microsoft technologies. Though we'll
make mention of an exception there as well.
