Biferno 1.6

Biferno is a Web server add-on module that allows dynamic generation of HTML pages. The result of the processing of the Biferno code by the server determines the page content.

A Biferno script is therefore a server-side script, i.e. the Web server is tasked with code processing. Biferno is currently implemented only as an interpreted language, but Tabasoft is developing a compiler that will be soon released.

Biferno is also a "HTML-embedded" language. Scripts can be written in pure Biferno language, but can also contain HTML code segments between Biferno code blocks.

Major Features:

1. Open Source
   • The complete source code is available and distribuited under the GPL license.
2. Object Orientation
   • All variables in Biferno are class instances. This allows developers to write more readable and modular code that can easily be reused in different projects.
3. Efficiency
   • The Biferno interpreter is completely written in the C language and optimization of execution speed has been a constant goal throughout the development process.
4. Portability
   • One of the main problems for Web site developers is the maze of different platforms (operating systems, Web servers, databases) and their incompatibilities. Biferno's system independence allows to migrate a whole site from a platform to a new one with minimal effort.
5. Extendibility
   • A complete public C interface and a downloadable SDK will soon be released, allowing developers to write their own Biferno classes. All Biferno classes (ranging from int to string to file) are based on this interface.
