Hi,
FOSDEM is less than 3 weeks away and I'd like to have a few
Perl related fliers.
I started to write a "Perl for testing" flier and sent it to the QA list.
I also asked the Dancer team to prepare one.
It might be nice to also have one about Padre.
So I started to write something. The best might be to have the logo
maybe with a screenshot on
the first side with lots of bullet points about the major features of
Padre with some explanation
next to each one of them. We can fill one or both sides of an A4.
Here is what I have so far:
=================
Padre, the Perl IDE
is an integrated development environment, or in other words a text
editor that is simple to use for new Perl programmers but also
supports large multi-lingual and multi-technology projects.
For beginners and people with relatively little experience in Perl,
Padre can make a huge difference in productivity and in understanding
the language.
Features
* The standard features you would expect from any "programmers editor"
* Customizable syntax highlighting for many languages
* Multi-platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X
* Free and Open Source
* Session management
* Written in Perl 5
Special Features
* Find Unmatched brace
* Find Variable declaration
* Find Method declaration
* Outline of the code showing pramgas, modules, methods
* Syntax checking for Perl 5 and Perl 6
* Refactoring tools for Perl 5 and Perl 6
- Rename Variable understanding lexical scope! Differentiating
between $x and $x[0]
- Extract Subroutine
- Introduce temporary variable
- Move POD to __END__
* Regular Expression Editor
* Beginner mode to identify errors newbies make
* Automatic or manual Project management
Recognizing the standard directory layout of Perl projects
including test files
* Context sensitive help and code completion for Perl 5 and Perl 6
Padre can provide help for the keywords of both languages and for
many of the operators as well
* Built in debugger for Perl 5
* Quick Menu access - if you don't find a menu option, just type in a
few letters from its name and voila, you have the menu
* Open Resource - Allows opening files without navigating through
many levels of the filesystem
* Perl Tidy - allows the standardization of code formatting.
* Perl Critic - allows checking the code against a pre-defined set of rules.
* Spell Checker - to make sure the documentation in our code does not
have typos
* Nopaste integration
Other add-ons:
* Catalyst development environment
* Mojolicious development environment
* WebGUI development environment
=================
As I need to finish this in the next 2 days I'd appreciate your (quick
!) help in adding more items and more explanations.
regards
Gabor
