Master Perl by creating practical programs for web scraping, data management, and more. Learn regex and enhance your programming skills.
Dive into Perl and become a coding wizard! This course is all about building real programs that do cool stuff like web scraping, data fixing, and more. Plus, youâll get the hang of those tricky regular expressions everyone talks about. Fun times ahead!
Learn Perl by actually creating useful, working Perl programs for everything from web scraping to fixing your data.
Discover some of the amazing things you can do with Perl 5, including downloading text and images from the Internet (just like Zuckerberg in The Social Network), reformatting data, importing and exporting data to and from databases, sysadmin-type tasks like renaming or moving files, fixing even huge amounts of data quickly and even creating web CGI scripts. In this course you'll also learn how to use regular expressions, those unbelievably useful little things that have now made their way into almost every serious programming language, yet remain the bĂȘte noire of many a developer.

After working as a software developer and contractor for over 14 years for a whole bunch of companies including CSC, Proquest, SPSS and AT&T in the UK and Netherlands, I decided to work full-time as a private software trainer. After spending four years in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary and a year in Berlin, I now live in Italy.
Great!
This is all new to me but he explains it very well.
ok
A really widespread Perl overview for those who are new to the language! Full of application examples and step-by-step tutorials, which are easy to follow.
Good
Superb
I really enjoyed this course. The content is well structured and supplies all the necessary information with enough detail to equip the student with the knowledge to continue learning in the areas specific to their needs.
A really good online course. It gives the necessary knowledge to be able to do a lot of stuff but also to have the background to search on your own for more topics.
Really a plus that he was coding live, personally I can understand and learn much more with this method than with videos which tutor has the code ready and only comments it.
Be aware that you should have some basic knowledge of programming before starting the course (which is actually a benefit as you don't spend time in really basic stuff but useful ones).
Getting to the halfway point... the last few tutorials (29+) have been a bit scattered and not directly focused on any one element. They're useful, but if you're looking for how to use that Perl subroutine, or Perl functionality, it's not quite clear ... hopefully that all gets cleared up and he goes back to the normal lessons. Just an observation as we get here. Until we got to 28 or 29, I was happy with the lessons!
