[PLUG] Intermediate Perl - Local training opportunity
|
Hello PLUG,
I have been putting together an Intermediate Perl training course for
my colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania. I recently had a few
folks need to withdraw their enrollment, so I have a few spaces available
to fill for our courses. (Please pardon the late notice.)
We're opening this up to all interested programmers, and I thought there
may likely be some folks in PLUG who are interested.
Of course, if you have a colleague or friend that you think would benefit
from this, feel free to pass it on, too. The details are below.
Best regards,
-Randall Sindlinger

proficiency.

About Intermediate Perl (aka Alpaca course, from the website)
Intermediate Perl parallels the O'Reilly book by the same name. This
course will include the optional lab component, so you will need to bring
a computer.
"It's suitable for students who have completed the Learning Perl
(Llama) course, or who otherwise have a good background in the basics
of Perl. Using the appropriate data structure can greatly simplify
development and maintenance of programs. This course covers advanced
data structures in Perl. Large programs... require special programming
techniques. The Alpaca course will show you how to keep your Perl
program running smoothly even when it must grow past the
100-lines-of-code barrier."
The syllabus is at http://www.stonehenge.com/tocs/alpaca_toc.pdf
About the Sockets, CGI, and DBI, course
The syllabus is available at
http://www.stonehenge.com/tocs/scdx_toc.pdf
(The XS section is outdated and is expected be excluded)
About the Code Review course
"This half-day course covers what programmers and quality control managers
should look for while examining Perl code for bugs, such as maintainability
and security issues."
