Resources

• Read the previous chapters of The road to better programming.
  
  
• Check out the cfengine home page.
  
  
• Visit the cfperl project, and see how it's progressing (and how well I'm sticking to my schedule).
  
  
• Learn more about the Free Software Foundation.
  
  
• Learn more about the the GPL license (I chose the The GNU GPL v2.2 for my cfperl project).
  
  
• Here is the GNU list of software licenses; naturally it has an FSF slant, but is still quite comprehensive.
  
  
• Here also is the Perl Artistic License -- considered by PAL advocates to be "more free" than the GPL (and by GPL advocates to be less free than the GPL!).
  
  
• Get an introduction to CVS, the Concurrent Versions System -- used by developers around the world to develop software in a flexible and collaborative manner -- in this developerWorks tutorial, CVS for the developer or amateur .
  
  
• The CVS home page links to manuals and more resources.
  
  
• Also by Ted on developerWorks, read:
  • "Intro to cfengine for system administration"
  • "Application configuration with Perl"
  • "Parsing with Perl modules"
