Free Online Perl Workshop
signlink writes "A new online workshop starts today, March 30th, and the first topic is posted. We are running a free perl workshop which will take place over the next ten weeks at http://linux.biondosmith.com . Although free, registration is required - you need to use a valid email address. This will be an interactive online workshop - we will learn to install, read and modify freeware cgi-scripts, and using the skills this teaches us we will write our own. Emphasis will be on the reusability of code, and the course will complete a class project - we will write a form-mail program that executes some user-validation features."
just buy the book CGI programming with Perl. you'll get more than a few scripts that you can rework. it'll give you a detailed overview and plenty of code. from the description, it sounds rather like a get together and a "let's do perl" rather than a guy who is a serious perl hacker. personally, dude deserved an ass rippin from randall. besides, what i've discovered from perl hackers is this: if you ask them, they will offer all the help they can, but if you pretend you know, they will unleash. i've been at perl a few years. i can do alot of things, specifically because of perl.
perl is something you can teach yourself, for the most part. however, you have to go to the right sources.
My problem? I was perfectly gruntled, until some numbnuts came by and dissed me.
