Abstract storage of Christmas letters

Open bbrtj opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Thank you for your interest in this year's Perl Advent Calendar.

🐪 Which Perl module do you want to write about: Storage::Abstract

Please give a short description of the article you want to write. Two to three sentences is fine.

Storage::Abstract is my module which is in the beta stage and I'm using it for my projects. I'm looking to stabilize it soon (make a 1.000 release) so it may be a good time to introduce it to the public. It abstracts away file storage.

The article could talk about how Santa wanted to prepare a Christmas-gifting script, but did not yet know where the files with kids' letters would be placed. The module abstracts that bit away, so he can just write his code now, and re-configure later if his assumptions are wrong.

♥️ The calendar is a labour of love and it requires a lot of care and feeding. It cannot survive without content submissions, but it also cannot survive without article reviews. In order to keep the calendar's momentum sustainable, this year I'm asking authors if they would also be willing to review someone else's article. Reviewing/editing is not a complicated process, but it requires patience and kindness, as many of our authors are new to the calendar, new to Perl or even new to blogging. I have published some editing guidelines to follow. If this seems like something you could help with, I would be extremely grateful for it. You are not required to review an article, so if you're not inclined to be a reviewer, please don't let this dissuade you from submitting a proposal.

🙏 Are you willing to act a code reviewer for another article author?
