LPM: Started LCC's perl course yesterday...

[David Hempy]

Wayne Beech is the instructor, and will do an excellent job, I'm sure.
This is a 150-level programming course, so I don't expect to be too
stimulated by it.  The first three days on the syllabus are devoted to
discussing variables...oh, buy.  The final topics on the syllabus are
associative arrays and making modules, if I recall correctly.

It would have been really cool to take the course before I actually needed
to learn perl, but that's life.  I am going to take the course, as I'm sure
there will be some little things I'll pick up that I didn't learn in my
self-taught approach.

I would really like to see a Perl 2 course.  Wayne said that is a common
sentiment.

I will be posting Perl Monger announcements at the class.  The poster we've
had for some of the meetings will fill the bill perfectly.  Did you do
those, Rich?  I would expect several to show up.  Most are perl
newbies...some are programming newbies.
