Purpose of this blog
At this point, I don't have a Perl blog. I do Perl things, but nothing that ever seems worth blogging about. However, I've decided to improve my knowledge of Perl 5i and Perl 6, and generally practice my proramming, so I'm going to work through a bunch of easy through to difficult problems in each language. Hopefully I'll pick up the idiomatic solution ideas as I go along.
Feedback and alternate solutions are also welcome.
At some point I may repeat the problems with Python, but not yet.
Problem sets I'm planning on starting with include:
The latter two are language-targetted, but I believe that I should be able to gain some benefit from some of them anyway. Suggestions for other problem sets are welcome, but this is certainly enough to get me started.
I know Perl 5, but I could stand to know more about perl5i and perl6, so I'm going to try to solve basic to hard problems in each of the three languages, learning the idioms as I go.
Hey,
I think the number one thing that stops people from blogging about all sorts of interesting things is that they think its not interesting. I do think just blogging about what you are learning with Perl is great. It might provide a bit of help to others in a similar state as you and also it might give the experts a chance to review and hopefully help out from time to time. Best of luck!
