Need to build a web application and keep hearing about methods you aren't quite sure of? Know Catalyst but don't feel you really "know" it. We won't go into carnal knowledge, but we will explore the various dispatch mechanisms to build robust and extensible web applications.
The primary focus is on Catalyst and the Chained dispatch method, and techniques for getting the most out of this strategy. Employing these techniques allow better extensibility and flexibility.
In this talk, we will cover:
* Benefits of chaining
* Basic chained paths
* Configuring chained paths
* Using controller base classes for unifying chains
* Troubleshooting chains gone wrong
* Exception handling
Knowledge of Catalyst is helpful, but not required. A basic understanding of Object Oriented principles, such as inheritance, will also be helpful.
