in reply to Style Best Practices

I've been saying it for years, but it is still good advice. Pick up the book Code Complete and read it. Carefully.

I don't care that it is not a Perl book. I don't care that Perl is not used in any of its examples. It is still relevant.

If you're willing to wait, you could wait until the second edition comes out this summer and read that instead. Or in addition if you've already read it by then.

    I second that. It should be mandatory reading for every programmer.

    In this context it might be worth noting that there will be a 2nd edition of Code Complete very soon (June 2004).

      Did you read my third paragraph?

        Well, I thought I did read your whole post, but apparently it was too early in the morning ... sorry.

        At least I provided the link to the 2nd edition so my answer is hopefully not completely useless.
