Hello Loic,
Florian and Eric seem to be doing most of the C/C++ stuff. Our python
defensive coding section is only one page. Maybe that would be a good
place to start ?
As I mentioned yesterday on list, be nice to cover a variety of topics
with pitfalls, even generic stuff like how to do efficient, safe input
validation, including with unicode/ascii issues, regexpr pitfalls.
Different examples would be great. I suspect many people also use
databases, so maybe a few examples for doing in and output validation
with proper logging, would also be useful to the community of aspiring
pythonians. I am sure there are loads more topics I cannot think of at
the moment. Maybe covering xml, json/yaml verification, hashing, TLSing
(?).... loads more out there.
I personally think there is too little good practical information out
there, which is why we need a community guide. Maybe soon then, we can
have multiple people doing improvements and peer review, to make this
guide a very good starting point for programmers, wanting to learn good
implementation methodology.
Thank you very much for volunteering.
Of course this is just a suggestion, not a tasking. So, do whatever you
would like to do, maybe there is something in the C/C++ guide you see,
that also needs improving or adding.
Any help is appreciated! Maybe you know a few others that would be
willing to help out.
Keep in mind, this is a community guide, even though it might be branded
as a Fedora guide, it is still a major benefit to the FOSS community as
a whole.
Thank you again.
Regards,
Tristan
