Description:

Many programmers code by instinct, relying on convenient habits or a "style" they picked up early on. They aren't conscious of all the choices they make, like how they format their source, the names they use for variables, or the kinds of loops they use. They're focused entirely on problems they're solving, solutions they're creating, and algorithms they're implementing. So they write code in the way that seems natural, that happens intuitively, and that feels good.

But if you're serious about your profession, intuition isn't enough.  Perl Best Practices author Damian Conway explains that rules, conventions, standards, and practices not only help programmers communicate and coordinate with one another, they also provide a reliable framework for thinking about problems, and a common language for expressing solutions. This is especially critical in Perl, because the language is designed to offer many ways to accomplish the same task, and consequently it supports many incompatible dialects.

With a good dose of Aussie humor, Dr. Conway (familiar to many in the Perl community) offers 256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code--in fact, the best Perl code you possibly can.  The guidelines cover code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, testing, and debugging.

They're designed to work together to produce code that is clear, robust, efficient, maintainable, and concise, but Dr. Conway doesn't pretend that this is the one true universal and unequivocal set of best practices. Instead, Perl Best Practices offers coherent and widely applicable suggestions based on real-world experience of how code is actually written, rather than on someone's ivory-tower theories on how software ought to be created.

Most of all, Perl Best Practices offers guidelines that actually work, and that many developers around the world are already using.  Much like Perl itself, these guidelines are about helping you to get your job done, without getting in the way.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
許多程式設計師靠直覺編寫程式,依賴方便的習慣或早期學到的「風格」。他們並不意識到自己所做的所有選擇,例如如何格式化原始碼、使用變數的命名方式或使用的迴圈類型。他們完全專注於解決問題、創造解決方案和實現演算法。因此,他們以看似自然、直覺和令人愉悅的方式編寫程式碼。

但是,如果你對自己的專業嚴肅認真,直覺是不夠的。《Perl最佳實踐》的作者Damian Conway解釋,規則、慣例、標準和實踐不僅幫助程式設計師相互溝通和協調,還為思考問題提供了可靠的框架,並提供了一種表達解決方案的共同語言。這在Perl中尤其重要,因為該語言設計了許多完成相同任務的方法,因此支持許多不兼容的方言。

澳大利亞幽默風格的Conway博士(Perl社區中的熟面孔)提供了256條關於編碼藝術的指南,以幫助您編寫更好的Perl代碼,事實上是可能的最佳Perl代碼。這些指南涵蓋了代碼佈局、命名慣例、數據和控制結構的選擇、程序分解、界面設計和實現、模塊化、面向對象、錯誤處理、測試和調試。

它們旨在共同產生清晰、強大、高效、可維護和簡潔的代碼,但Conway博士並不聲稱這是唯一真正的、普遍的和明確的最佳實踐集。相反,《Perl最佳實踐》提供了一些建立在實際編碼經驗基礎上的一致且廣泛適用的建議,而不是基於某人對軟體創建應該如何的象牙塔理論。

最重要的是,《Perl最佳實踐》提供的是實際有效的指南,許多全球開發人員已經在使用。就像Perl本身一樣,這些指南旨在幫助您完成工作,而不會妨礙您。
