A few pages on best-practices would be great. For someone learning new

practices because they're warm and comforting (haha).
I'm currently doing a lot of reading about Patterns, learning new
approaches like Catalyst, RoR, ORM and all with a view to redesigning
an existing application at work. It's a lot to take on, I wnat to get
it it 'right' but it's confusing and I find I spend a lot of time
reading books/ reading mailing lists/ reading anything I can get my
hands on ...... it's a steep curve.
Just a thought ;)

Absolutely - I'm in exactly the same position, and am following almost
exactly the same process, except that I abandoned RoR early on and
decided to stick with Perl for the re-write. Catalyst was an entirely
new concept to me, having progressed from a long-list-of-if-elsif-else
type scripting -> CGI::Application -> Catalyst/DBIC and found, and am
still finding, it hard going. The Tutorial was a massive help, without
which I'm pretty sure I could not have even got off the ground, and so
is the Catalyst & DBIC mailing lists, but would also find an article on
next-step development and best practices extremely useful. Count this as
a vote in favour.
