This course will teach you Perl through a multi–sensory approach.
– You will hear about Perl in lectures.
– You will see Perl work through live examples.
– You will touch Perl physically by working with the dozens of downloadable working Perl programs you will have access to and that are used in the live examples. You can use these programs to experiment with and as templates for your own Perl programming.
– You will touch Perl mentally by working on the exercises and writing your own Perl programs.
Some of the basic and intermediate level Perl skills you will learn in this course include:
* Downloading and installing Perl on your computer
* Using Perl to work with numbers and strings. This could be used to do mathematical calculations and to manipulate strings.
* Read data into your programs (for example, .csv files, data from the keyboard, regular files, etc.), detect data patterns, and alter that data with regular expressions and various Perl functions
* Store lists of data in arrays and hashes
* Use subroutines to create larger programs and to break your programs up into manageable pieces
* Access and use ready–made code (modules)
* Create, modify, read, write, and append files. Combine files, concatenate files.

Nice course with detailed explanation
Zhi Liu –
The explanations are very clear. The speed is fast so no time get wasted in the lectures. Great course.
Tad Rimmey –
This is a well done course. While I know many of the programming basics from other languages such as Python or C++, I appreciate the presentation of the Perl syntax. I am also excited about learning the power of regular expressions. We can do so much with them.

The only okey thing was the content for the first 20 lectures as you directly dive into coding without much explanation on scalars and stuff but then: No IDEs: Most courses start with some IDEs suggestions, but not this one. Now I am on section 5 and have heard only 1 vague comment about Notepad ++, yet after it you switched to UNIX system using vim without ever mentioning anything. Yet you demonstrate some skills with vim, but never explain then, nor even mention how one can follow you and repeat that you are doing. Non challenging execises. Up until Section 5 the execises were not well thought, with little ore no value added in them. In Section 4, the exercise literlas.pl demanded only to copy a bunch of text and print it out, while you could have asked for some concatenation and string multiplying x putting some kind of challenge. Yet it had no point, no knowledge gain, it was plain stupid with no value added. Content poorly and misleadingly presented. When presenting the sort for @arrays you never mentioned that it sorts alphabetically, and not numerically. In fact you gave a misleading example sorting 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5. Yet if someone have tried what you teach on let say 1, 10, 15, 101, 109 the result would be unsatisfying. You never mentioned about the {$a < > $b} usage of sort which is vital for sorting numerically. Actually such a presentation of the sort function can not come from someone who is using it, which leads me to: Lack of practical experience in the field: now being on your 20th video I keep on having a feeling you are reading out loud form a text book of yours from your studies, which must have been not so long. You leave me with no confidence in your expertise. Speed of presentation: so slow that it actually demands willpower to hear through what you have to say, and usually the time spent was not worth it. With such a low tempo and in so much detailing repetitions you are quick to loose any audience on a real presentation.
