* Tuesday, April 10, E51-372 - Revisting the Dread CGI -- The Uri CGI refactored before and after
As many of you have known and seen, Uri Guttman will do code review on the fly with anyone's code on display at pm meetings. This may seem frivolous or whatever but it is can be useful in many cases. He has a client for his Perl support/training services which entails lots of code and design review and it has proven very valuable to this shop. He has obtained permission to show one CGI script in its before any review state and after much review and refactoring. The author of the script did almost all of the editing and rewriting but for one sub rewrite that Uri did because it was more complex than the author could handle. The script went through 14 revisions and it still isn't where it should be (that means using a proper template module like Template::Simple) but it is light years from where it was. This talk is being called before/after. You will see some of the worst coding and template practices ever unleashed at a boston.pm gathering. You will be in shock at the use of globals, the lack of subs, and the redundant everything everywhere. Then the tranquility of the after version will calm your senses, sooth your jangled nerves and show you there really can be order in this chaotic universe. Be prepared for coding hell and heaven! Fun is guaranteed for all! - Our WIKI http://boston.pm.org/kwiki/ * Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT (directions http://boston.pm.org/kwiki/index.cgi?MITDirections ). o NOTE - Sometimes the lot has filled early, overflow is to Hayward lots (avoid MEDICAL RESERVED spaces!).
