Coming up with good articles isn't easy! Documentation is the toughest part of writing code.
Myself, I've been mulling, since Nov 3, how to make * http://search.cpan.org/~mstrout/Catalyst-View-TT-0.37/lib/Catalyst/View/TT.pm#expose_methods * resonate better with newbies like me, and I haven't come up with anything better than what's already there. :( Argh! I do appreciate the neat articles that talk about Facebook API's and Google API's and other advanced stuff, but those often seem a bit esoteric and beyond the daily grind of what we're developing. So it's also good to keep the newbies in mind. I think if the advent series could showcase a couple of basic articles (maybe even repackaging email threads?) it'd be great! Concepts such as: - how an insulated, personal perl library, instead of system-wide cpan, is better for a Catalyst app, - tricks and tips to keep in mind to make migrating a catalyst app from system Q to system X easy, - strengths and weaknesses of and techniques for using revision-management such as mercurial or subversion or git to track source code changes... - using InstantCRUD or AutoCRUD in various contexts as a debugging tool or data-mining aid On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 4:52 PM, Devin Austin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey all, > > It's that time of year again, and as per tradition, we're running a > bit behind.
