Git Immersion is a guided tour that walks through the fundamentals of Git, inspired by the premise that to know a thing is to do it.

fabricate is a build tool that finds dependencies automatically for any language. It's small and just works. No hidden stuff behind your back. It was inspired by Bill McCloskey's make replacement, memoize, but fabricate works on Windows as well as Linux.

I'd rather work with a language that lets me say things as I want to
say them, and work to speed up the things that seem too slow where
that turns out to matter, than begin by tying my hands and saying the
only expressional paradigms I may consider are those that are known on
the day I start programming to be a particular speed.

Perl5, like Lua, has no OO model, just OO mechanism. This allows a proliferation (or experimentation) of different model.

Now with Moose, Perl5 find its ultimate OO model. Moose borrows all the best features from Perl6, CLOS (LISP), Smalltalk and many other languages. Moose is built on top of a metaobject protocol, with full introspection.

Coat is light-weight Perl5 module which just mimics Moose.

Finally, lua-Coat is the Lua port of Coat.

etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It hooks into apt (and other package managers including yum and pacman-g2) to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that revison control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with revision control.
