Perl Design Patterns - Free Book 17

Posted by Hemos on Monday June 23, 2003 @06:01AM from the learning-more-about-it dept.

Scott Walters writes "Perl programmers and Java programmers have a lot to learn from each other. Perl 5 is providing more and more optional stricture, and Perl 6 is expected to provide stricture by default and other goodies as type safety. Perhaps better named "Stupid Perl Object Tricks", Perl Design Patterns proves that a little design, a little computer science, and some style are nothing to fear. This is dedicated to all of the newbies screaming, "The code is fine! Just tell me what the bug is!", and to all of the talented programmers who think Perl deserves a better reputation. Object::PerlDesignPatterns on CPAN is updated less often but has a fatter pipe."

  Sorry, I'm a highass. I type the URL all the time, but I botch it this once. I tested the link as directed by the instructions, and Mozilla silently fixed it. Stupid protecting me from my stupidity so I don't even know I'm stupid until too late... anyway thanks to Slashdot for putting the story through. And, no, I'll be amazed if slowass.net [slowass.net] survives. If the pages doesn't load, the machine is an Apple Mac 7300/180, 180mhz 604e (pre-G3) with 32 megs of RAM. On a slow day, it is overloaded. An idle CPU is the playground of the devil! Okey folks, flame away. -scott

Better just read the O'Reilly net article about perl design patterns here [perl.com]

  While the O'Reilly Net Article [perl.com] is interesting, the Perl Design Patterns [perldesignpatterns.com] page is worth a read too as it provides *far* (read 860Kb of text) more than the two page document at O'Reilly.

perldesignpatterns.com/?PerlPatternsResources tries to track them. Oh, I'm turning off Wiki edits until later. Come back in a few days if you want to contribute to the site. Want to keep things in some sort of condition for the rush. Thanks again to Slashdot for the link and for everyones comments, constructive or otherwise. -scott

This is an excellent book. The author is to be commended for offering a free book such as this. Some parts of it were hard for me to read, basically because the site is (or was) open to editing, and therefore was a bit chaotic. But if you just stick to the main page and read through sequentially it goes pretty well. (Although for some reason the chapters for beginnings should be at the beginning, and they aren't.)

Overall, Good work! Where is the link to donate money to you via PayPal? (Just kidding, I hate paypal ;) but you outta have some kind of donation link.

Yet another reason to use Perl for mid-sized projects instead of Java, in cases when Java was sometimes chosen only because it was easier to hide the source code of the app/module by coding it in Java, - was recently eliminated by the introduction of obfuscators like Stunnix Perl-Obfus [stunnix.com] or similar ones. That's a very good news for us Perl fans. Let's hope Perl will be treated even more seriously by corporations when Perl6 will be declared stable..
