Web Development with Julia and Genie: A hands-on guide to high-performance server-side web development with the Julia programming language

Get a practical overview of web development in Julia and learn how to build MVC applications with a REST API, and an interactive data dashboard using the Genie web framework

Key Features:

• A tutorial on web development from Julia expert, Ivo Balbaert and the creator of the Genie framework, Adrian Salceanu
• A step-by-step approach to building a complete web app with the Genie framework
• Develop secure and fast web apps using server-side development on Julia

Book Description:

Julia's high-performance and scalability characteristics and its extensive number of packages for visualizing data make it an excellent fit for developing web apps, web services, and web dashboards. The two parts of this book provide complete coverage to build your skills in web development.

First, you'll refresh your knowledge of the main concepts in Julia that will further be used in web development. Then, you'll use Julia's standard web packages and examine how the building blocks of the web such as TCP-IP, web sockets, HTTP protocol, and so on are implemented in Julia's standard library. Each topic is discussed and developed into code that you can apply in new projects, from static websites to dashboards. You'll also understand how to choose the right Julia framework for a project. The second part of the book talks about the Genie framework. You'll learn how to build a traditional to do app following the MVC design pattern. Next, you'll add a REST API to this project, including testing and documentation. Later, you'll explore the various ways of deploying an app in production, including authentication functionality. Finally, you'll work on an interactive data dashboard, making various chart types and filters.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to build interactive web solutions on a large scale with a Julia-based web framework.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand how to make a web server with HTTP.jl and work with JSON data over the web
• Discover how to build a static website with the Franklin framework
• Explore Julia web development frameworks and work with them
• Uncover the Julia infrastructure for development, testing, package management, and deployment
• Develop an MVC web app with the Genie framework
• Understand how to add a REST API to a web app
• Create an interactive data dashboard with charts and filters
• Test, document, and deploy maintainable web applications using Julia

Who this book is for:

This book is for beginner to intermediate-level Julia programmers who want to enhance their skills in designing and developing large-scale web applications. The book helps you adopt Genie without any prior experience with the framework. Julia programming experience and a beginner-level understanding of web development concepts are required.

在這本書中，你將獲得關於Julia網頁開發的實用概述，並學習如何使用Genie網頁框架建立MVC應用程式、REST API和互動式資料儀表板。

重點特色：
- 由Julia專家Ivo Balbaert和Genie框架的創建者Adrian Salceanu提供的網頁開發教程
- 逐步建立完整網頁應用程式的方法，使用Genie框架
- 使用Julia進行伺服器端開發，開發安全且快速的網頁應用程式

書籍描述：
Julia的高效能和可擴展性，以及其豐富的資料視覺化套件，使其非常適合開發網頁應用程式、網頁服務和網頁儀表板。本書的兩個部分提供了完整的內容，以建立你在網頁開發方面的技能。

首先，你將複習Julia的主要概念，這些概念將在網頁開發中進一步應用。然後，你將使用Julia的標準網頁套件，並研究網頁的基本組件，如TCP-IP、網頁套接字、HTTP協議等，這些組件在Julia的標準庫中是如何實現的。每個主題都會進行討論並轉化為代碼，你可以在新項目中應用這些代碼，從靜態網站到儀表板。你還將了解如何為項目選擇合適的Julia框架。本書的第二部分介紹了Genie框架。你將學習如何按照MVC設計模式建立一個傳統的待辦事項應用程式。接下來，你將為該項目添加一個REST API，包括測試和文檔。然後，你將探索不同的部署方式，包括身份驗證功能。最後，你將開發一個互動式資料儀表板，製作各種圖表類型和篩選器。

通過閱讀本書，你將能夠使用基於Julia的網頁框架建立大規模的互動式網頁解決方案。

你將學到什麼：
- 瞭解如何使用HTTP.jl建立網頁伺服器，並在網頁上使用JSON資料
- 探索如何使用Franklin框架建立靜態網站
- 研究Julia網頁開發框架並與之合作
- 揭示Julia的開發、測試、套件管理和部署基礎設施
- 使用Genie框架開發MVC網頁應用程式
- 瞭解如何為網頁應用程式添加REST API
- 創建具有圖表和篩選器的互動式資料儀表板
- 使用Julia測試、編寫文檔和部署可維護的網頁應用程式

本書適合初級到中級水平的Julia程式設計師，他們希望提升在設計和開發大規模網頁應用程式方面的技能。本書將幫助你在不需要先前使用Genie框架的情況下採用它。需要具備Julia程式設計經驗和初級水平的網頁開發概念理解。
