Perl even better practices
Lausanne, 2 April 2014
Overview
One of the major challenges of using Perl in a development environment is that Perl's "More Than One Way To Do It" philosophy often means there are far too many choices when it comes to solving a particular problem using the language. This makes coding standards and the use of best-practice techniques especially important in Perl development.
In 2005, Damian Conway published the book Perl Best Practices, providing guidelines to help Perl programmers writing better code and designed to work together to produce code that is clear, robust, efficient, maintainable, and concise.This course revisits and re-evaluates every rule and piece of advice given in the original edition of Perl Best Practices, drawing on Damian's ten extra years of experience as a developer and educator. As a result of this process, this class offers dozens of new and improved suggestions to make your best-practice Perl code even better.
The class will be of benefit to any Perl programmer who works as part of a development team or who simply wishes to write better, more reliable, more maintainable code.
