This presentation will be an overview of various tips and good practices I've learned from writing and managing Oggify. From it's humble beginnings as a shell script, the various states in Perl for version 1.0, and the newly rewritten in Python for version 2.0. Topics will range from tips about version control selection and use to following style conventions and learning to take advantage of your tools. The presentation will be geared toward people of beginning to intermediate experience who are looking to start a project or improve habits with an existing project. Code examples will include: sh, perl, python, and ruby. Tools covered will be git (with some mention of bzr, hg, and svn), vim, and zsh. Focus will not be on any language or tool, but principles and practices. By having good habits and avoiding common pitfalls your code will be more powerful, flexible, and sharable.
