course 1.1.2.8

Level: intermediate
1.1.2.8 | intermediate | 8 sessions
Perl is a language of acceptable subsets. Larry Wall has said, many times, that it's okay to not know everything. If you knew enough to get the job done, then obviously you knew all you needed to. To provide you with a broader foundation to get your job done, Intermediate Perl continues after Sheldon's wildly successful Introduction to Perl.
