not without going through the book in detail and picking out all the
rules i disagree with or have a different viewpoint on. and i can
disagree or see different views on most any subject! :)
damian's acknolegdment line for me is:
To Uri Guttman, for seeing things no-one else did, in ways
no-one else could.
:)
one i rule i disagree with is his use of a set of default regex
modifiers. i can see having /x on all the time but i stick with using /s
and /m as needed even if they would work ok if they were on all the
time. there are places where i actually use the fact that . doesn't
match \n. these are posited in the first set of rules in the chapter on
regexes.
there are others but i would be amazed to find anyone or group (other
than damian!) who would practice all these rules to the letter. as i
said in another post, the rules are as much a way to get you to think
about your code and style than just a particular way to code. you can
choose your coding style as long as you consciously choose it and are
consistant in your use of it.
