Here is a list of documents which are quite useful if you are
involved in software engineering. Most of them are in English, so
you may need a dictionary.
Ariane
The Ariane Environment is an
environment designed to develop software products under Unix. It
has been realized for the French oil Companies in order to supply a
general framework for software engineering in a scientific context.
Unix
Need a program, a manual, a reference ? Just dive down there. You will find a vast collection of
links to Linux, GNU, FSF, FreeBSD sites.
Object-Oriented Programming
To get good explanations about object programming you can read
the html book Object Oriented System
Development by Dennis de Champeaux, Doug Lea, and Penelope
Faure.
The OMG (Object Management
Group) has a site on the Net. This organisation is a non-profit
consortium dedicated to promoting the theory and practice of object
technology (OT) for the development of distributed computing
systems. To go further, look at the CORBA page.
The UML
language is presented in these pages on the site of Rational, the company supplying
tools for software development.
The Pattern
Home Page is devoted to this new concept in software
engineering. Patterns and Pattern Languages are ways to describe
best practices, good designs, and capture experience in a way that
it is possible for others to reuse this experience.
The standard Corba (Common
Object Request Broker Architecture) is a standard for distributed
objects being developed by the Object Management Group (OMG).
To be informed about the latest developments in this domain,
look at Object News.
Perl is an interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary
text files, extracting information from those text files, and
printing reports based on that information. It's also a good
language for many system management tasks. The language is intended
to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than
beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). It combines some of the best
features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with those
languages should have little difficulty with it.
The Perl Home
Page presents the language and proposes a lot of links to
related resources.
To check for reference,
see the manual which is available on line.
To study some examples, you can browse my list of Perl Samples.
