Hello, world!
Well, I couldn't resist...had to start with the typical "Hello, world!" This is a blog site about a programming language, is it not?
I am currently a high school student, and computer programming is one of my interest/hobbies. I have a website where I offer Perl tutorials for beginners, and I really like making tutorials. That said, I myself am not a very advanced programmer, by any means...I really don't know much at all. One of the ways that I learn is by taking on programming challenges/tasks, but the issue is, I don't know how effectively I am completing the task. I am sure there are better ways to approach some problems from both logical and technical standpoints. Therefore, I am mostly starting this blog as a place to get feedback from others about the scripts that I write as to what the potential weaknesses/drawbacks might be, and how I can make my scripts (and my programming skills in general) better.
I'm a student teaching himself Perl and want to learn more.
Hello, Chris, and welcome!
Welcome Chris. Looking forward to your posts. You seem to miss the link to your tutorials :)
Another way to get feedback --apart from blog comments-- is to meet fellow Perl coders.
Is there a Perl Mongers group in your area? Perl Mongers meetings are a great way to meet interesting people, chat with them, show them your code. Every group is different. Some are mostly social, other do regular technical meetings, some are a mix of both.
And if there's none around you, maybe it's time
start one.
Hey everyone. The tutorials are at http://www.learnhowtoprogramperl.info
I am looking at the SF Perl Mongers and might try to attend.
