Course Description
Perl is a popular and powerful language that can be applied to a wide range of data processing problems. In recent years, it has become the language of choice for WEB-page designers. Students will learn the features of Perl and gain experience in writing typical Perl 5.0 applications. The basics of CGI programming for WEB pages using the LWP and CGI modules will also be covered.Who Should Attend
Students should have at least 6 months of prior experience with UNIX, and be experienced with one of the following text editors: vi, emacs, or pico (or another locally available editor, for on-site classes). Students should also have prior programming experience in a modern high-level language (Java, C++, C, AWK, Shell, etc.). The course is intended for those planning to use Perl in CGI programming (web-designers, web-masters), as well as more general uses (UNIX programming, system administration, network administration, data administration, etc.).Author & Instructor
Dr. Tim Maher has been working with the interpreted languages of UNIX since 1976, and counted AWK as his favorite scripting language until Perl came along and eclipsed it. He has written many sophisticated applications in AWK, Korn shell, C, C++, and Perl, including a user interface for U.C. Berkeley undergraduates and source code beautifiers for Perl and C++. He is the CEO and Principal Instructor of CONSULTIX, for whom he has authored and taught 17 courses on a wide variety of software topics. He is also the founder of the Seattle Perl Users Group (SPUG), one of the oldest PUGs on the planet and also the clear leader in attracting world-class Perl experts to its meetings.CONSULTIX instructors are renowned for their ability to communicate complex concepts in simple terms and to make the study of dry technical material enjoyable.
