Learning Perl

This course is based on Randal Schwartz's popular O'Reilly Nutshell book, Learning Perl. The course presumes no prior knowledge of Perl, and exposes the course participants to what we call the "middle two-thirds" of Perl --those items that are needed to accomplish many common tasks, and to lay the groundwork for more advanced study on an as-needed basis. This is a hands-on course in which students apply the programming methods and principles developed in the lectures.

Advanced Perl: Packages, References, Objects, and Modules (PROM)

The Advanced Perl course is an intermediate level course that is suitable for students that have completed the Learning Perl course or the equivalent and have experience with other languages that have pointers or references,as well as object-oriented programming (such as Smalltalk, Java, or C++). This is a hands-on course in which students apply the programming methods and principles developed in the lectures.
