This is the first post on the Zera website blog. On this post I will explain why I made Zera.

I have more than 15 years writing perl code, I really like the language. The bad news are that we just see how perl has been replaced for new trending languages over the years. First because other languages was easier for newbies like php, and lather for frameworks like Ruby on Rails or Python Django and others.

Php was easier that perl on the web for newbies because it was easier to create a hello world or a simple page, upload it to a web hosting was just easy. In the other side in perl you regularly need more knowledge to run your first dynamic web page. Then comes frameworks. I have tried Dancer and mojolicious which are a great pieces of software, the problem I see with boot was the newbies problem again, even if write things on the frameworks is easy, looks like the documentation is written only for experimented developers, basic examples like how to create a CRUD are hard to find.

The thing here is, if you see the things easier with some technology on the beginning, is very probable you stick to that technology, even if things get very complicated on the road.

So one of the main goals of this project is to create documentation and tools to make it easy for newbies.
