effective programming

there are two innovative book series in programming world. one is cookbook, the oher is effective programming. all the books in these series are worth to read. other series are so-so. some are helpful, but some are not..

i got four books in this series, effective java, effective perl, effective c++, more effective c++. all are cool! especially, i recommend effective perl and more effective c++.

probably the highest virtue in programming is DRY, Don’t Repeat Yourself. these two series are designed for that purpose. but now a day, new technique are developed so fast. so these books can’t catch the trend. so, we have nothing but to DRY. the best case to escape this situation is a CPAN in perl community. i expect it from other programming side.
