Just a Basics, Madam: A Programming Chrestomathy

I work with a lot of different languages, and I tend to confuse syntax. It's a real pain to have to wade through verbose tutorials to figure out that you define functions in Perl with 'sub'. The Basics are my attempt at a handy reference guide.

I tend to type these pretty fast, so I'm sure I have typos all over the place. Please let me know if you find a typo.

Using Command-Line Basics, you can search the basics from the command line by writing something like:
