Recently I have been reading through the [http://www.developerdotstar.com/|developer.*] site and came across [http://www.developerdotstar.com/pp.htm|The "Principled Programming" Project]. Though not directly related to Perl, the assorted essays are well written and pertain the the general art of programming. These are not necessarily new ideas -- many are familiar topics. If you have not seen them before, perhaps you will find them of interest in your quest to master your programming skills, Perl or otherwise.
<p>
The topics of the essays are as follows:
<p>
<ul>
<li>[http://www.developerdotstar.com/principle1.htm|Principle #1: The Principle of Personal Character]
<li>[http://www.developerdotstar.com/principle2.htm|Principle #2: The Principle of Aesthetics]
<li>[http://www.developerdotstar.com/principle3.htm|Principle #3: The Principle of Clarity]
<li>[http://www.developerdotstar.com/principle4.htm|Principle #4:The Principle of Layout]
<li>[http://www.developerdotstar.com/principle5.htm|Principle #5: The Principle of Explicitness]
<li>[http://www.developerdotstar.com/principle6.htm|Principle #6: The Principle of Self-Documenting Code]
