Damian Conway On Programming, Perl And More

Posted by timothy on from the serious-advice dept.

Andrew writes: "My host pair.com has an interview with Damian Conway in which he talks a lot about his upcoming modules, and what skills a Perl programmer needs. I'm personally waiting on Parse::FastDescent." Conway talks about some interesting modules he's working on, Perl 6, and on programming in general, too.

    Although slashdot loves to post Damian Conway stories, those who still haven't had their fill can follow his online diary at yetanother.org.

    Damian mentioned design patterns as one of the skills necessary to become a better programmer. As very little has been written about implementing design patterns in Perl, I've started a project to produce Perl implementations (and explanations) of the Gang of Four's patterns. Later, I hope that Perl-specific patterns may emerge, but for the moment I'm just trying to create interest in this important area for OO-Perl programmers.
