Yuma is a powerful new web scripting tool. It features a strongly-typed, object oriented language with clear, clean syntax and native compiled-to-machine-code speeds on Macintosh, Windows, and Linux.
Like PHP and ASP, Yuma is an HTML preprocessor. You build web applications by embedding executable Yuma code in your HTML documents. The Yuma server compiles that code on the fly and serves the results with impressive speed.
Give Yuma a try. The development server is free and loaded with great web debugging features. When you're ready to deploy your professional web application, you'll want a copy of the Yuma Enterprise Server that works with Apache and other industrial-grade web servers.
Yuma code is embedded in HTML code, between "" Tags. Anything the Yuma code prints is inserted into the resulting HTML sent to the client.
Yuma is effectively an HTML (or other text file) preprocessor. When a client requests a file that goes through the Yuma engine, Yuma scans it for tags that identify embedded Yuma code. The opening tag is "", so Yuma code must always appear between these.
Any code it finds is compiled and executed. That code can do almost anything — read and write databases, send email, perform computations, and so on — but one of the most important Things it can do is generate output for display to the user. Using the "Print" method, it can generate HTML code that is inserted into the original HTML document, right where the code was. The result is a dynamically generated page; the user sees only the result of the computations, and none of the original code.
