[Catalyst] Catalyst Advent Calendar

[will trillich]

Coming up with good articles isn't easy! Documentation is the toughest part
of writing code.

Myself, I've been mulling, since Nov 3, how to make *

pm#expose_methods
* resonate better with newbies like me, and I haven't come up with anything
better than what's already there. :( Argh!

I do appreciate the neat articles that talk about Facebook API's and Google
API's and other advanced stuff, but those often seem a bit esoteric and
beyond the daily grind of what we're developing. So it's also good to keep
the newbies in mind. I think if the advent series could showcase a couple
of basic articles (maybe even repackaging email threads?) it'd be great!
Concepts such as:
- how an insulated, personal perl library, instead of system-wide cpan, is
better for a Catalyst app,
- tricks and tips to keep in mind to make migrating a catalyst app from
system Q to system X easy,
- strengths and weaknesses of and techniques for using revision-management
such as mercurial or subversion or git to track source code changes...
- using InstantCRUD or AutoCRUD in various contexts as a debugging tool or
data-mining aid
