The road to better programming: Introduction and chapter 1
Shattering the myth of the faultless programmer, Teodor dismantles the uninspired software group and then builds it up again into a synchronized, energized ensemble. 		Articles 01 Nov 2001  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 2
This series of articles on developerWorks comprises a complete guide to better programming in Perl. In this second installment, Teodor dissects comments in code. The comments in a program's code are perhaps as important to the long-range goals of a software team as the actual code itself. Unfortunately, they are also often the most neglected. Through tips, quips, examples, and anecdotes, Teodor takes an in-depth look at the imperative nature of commenting a program's language from beginning to end. 		Articles 01 Nov 2001  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 3
This series of articles on developerWorks comprises a complete guide to better programming in Perl. In this third installment, Teodor gives a quick introduction to the Perl loop syntax, conditional statements, and writing clean code. While not intended to teach Perl from the ground up, this chapter will be useful for the beginner or intermediate Perl programmer interested in learning how to apply Perl better to everyday work. 		Articles 01 Dec 2001  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 4
This series of articles on developerWorks comprises a complete guide to better programming in Perl. In this fourth installment, Teodor introduces functional programming and several essential Perl idioms important for Perl programmers looking for speed and elegance in their code, such as the map() and grep() functions, and the Schwartzian and Guttman-Rosler transforms. 		Articles 01 Jan 2002  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 5
This series of articles on developerWorks comprises a complete guide to better programming in Perl. In this fifth installment, Teodor explains what Object Oriented Programming is, when to use it, and how it works in Perl. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a powerful programming technique, but it is not a panacea. Good programmers must understand how to use it, and must also know when to rely on more traditional programming techniques. Using OOP in Perl is easy. Unlike more restrictive OOP languages like C++ and Java, OOP in Perl places very few arbitrary constraints on the programmer. OOP is an essential addition to every programmer's toolkit, and a very useful technique for expanding the range of problems that may be solved with Perl. 		Articles 01 Jan 2002  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 6. Developing cfperl, from the beginning
Perl expert Ted Zlatanov embarks on a new coding project to create cfperl, a cfengine interpreter written in Perl. Starting where any well-developed project should -- at the beginning -- Ted investigates licensing options and version control, sets up a schedule for completing the work, and does a little research to make sure he's not copying anyone. 		Articles 01 Jan 2003  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 7. Top-level control flow and configuration
Perl expert Ted Zlatanov continues his top-down development of the cfperl project, a cfengine interpreter written in Perl, starting with the control flow and configuration handling. 		Articles 05 Feb 2003  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 8. The top-level and compound-class parsers
In this installment, Ted explains the workings of cfperl's top-level and compound-class parsers and moves us towards a clearer understanding of the important roles parsers play. 		Articles 06 Mar 2003  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 9. The classes and default parsers
The cfperl project, a cfengine interpreter written in Perl, is developed from the top down. In this article, we'll discuss the groups and classes, and how unknown input is handled. 		Articles 03 Apr 2003  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 10. User management with cfperl
In this series, Ted has been developing the cfperl project -- which is simply a cfengine interpreter written in Perl. He discusses the users: section, where users and groups can be added, modified, or deleted with ease. 		Articles 15 May 2003  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 11. Crontab management with cfperl
In this series, Ted has been developing the cfperl project -- which is simply a cfengine interpreter written in Perl -- from the top down. In this installment, he discusses the cron section, where crontab entries can be added or deleted easily. 		Articles 12 Jun 2003  
 
The road to better programming: Chapter 12. File editing with the perledit: section
In this series, Ted has been developing the cfperl project -- which is simply a cfengine interpreter written in Perl -- from the top down. This time, Ted adds Perl-based file editing. He explores which decisions were taken and why, and shows the four new commands in use. 		Articles 20 Aug 2003
