For network professionals everywhere this feature of LTM(TM) is probably the most challenging. This book aims to help those faced with writing 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 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 is for those in the networking field with little or no programming knowledge. This is an introductory beginners reference. By the time you've read the entire book you'll certainly understand a lot more about programming and you'll be able to write and understand iRules and fulfil most requirements demanded of you. The 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.
