About An Introduction To F5 Networks LTM IRules

It's no surprise that iRules® are the subject of the first F5 Networks® related technical book ever written. For network professionals the world over this feature of LTM™ is probably the most challenging; programming was never part of the job description right? This book aims to help those faced with writing and managing iRules and getting the best out of them. Anyone with an interest in iRules, particularly those new to them or with no programming knowledge will find this book invaluable. With over 100 rule examples incorporating the most common requirements seen on DevCentral™ there's plenty of material included to learn from and get you started.The book approaches iRules from the same standpoint as a network engineer and that's typically the role someone writing iRules has. This book is for those in the networking field with little or no programming knowledge; if you're a programmer you probably want to be reading a book about networking. This is not an expert level book or a tutorial; it's an introductory beginners reference. By the time you've read the entire book you won't be a programmer (or an IT rock star) but you'll certainly understand a lot more about programming and you'll be able to write and understand iRules and fulfill most requirements demanded of you.This second edition more than doubles the amount of content and adds more detail, further examples, command and event references, glob and regular expression guides and more.
