Books I've Written
Ian Langworth and I wrote this book to show dozens of different scenarios for testing software with Perl. We used the Developer's Notebook format, which presents a lab, shows some example code, and then explains it. It's like sitting with a good Perl tester who walks you through working code. (It's not just for testing Perl code; we show how to use Perl's testing tools to test everything else.)

This little book grew out of a conversation that Tim O'Reilly and I had at OSCON in 2002. It took too long to write, but I'm always glad to hear people tell me that they've bought copies to give to their customers or managers. It was also a real thrill to have Ward Cunningham write such a nice preface.

This is the first book I ever had published. Slash didn't take off as a piece of software as much as we thought it would, but I stand by the book as useful for its discussions of how to build a successful community online, both technically and socially. I still keep writing about the subject.
