[ the code for a course follows the convention category.id.level.sessions and uniquely identifies a course ]

introduction and orientation

Workshops dealing with administration, introduction and orientation. All participants are encouraged to attend workshops in this category. The sessions are kept brief, informative and at times entertaining.

0.0.0.1 | Orientation Session

This single session will introduce you to the workshops. We'll discuss the curriculum and schedule. We'll be looking for your input in how to make the workshops more effective.

0.1.0.1 | Two Problems

We'll present two real-life problems and solve them with Perl. We will show you how Perl modules are used to fetch, munge and export data. We will show you that Perl is a practical and powerful tool.

course codes

Courses are labeled by a unique Perl Workshop code. The code has the format category . course . level . sessions [.session].

  • category represents the broad topic area covered by the course
  • course is a unique course identifier within a given category
  • level encodes the level of difficulty from 0 (all) to 3 (advanced)
  • sessions gives the number of lectures in the course
  • .session is an optional session index field which is used when the code refers to a sessions; for example 1.0.1.8 encodes "Introduction to Perl" but 1.0.1.8.2 refers to the second session in the course.

All code components are zero-indexed except for the final optional session index.
