An introduction to Perl Programming
This day introduces non-programmers (or
those with little programming experience) to the Perl language and is
intended as a lead-in to our Perl
Programming Course.
By the end of the day, trainees will have
learned the basic building blocks of a programming language and will be
able to use Perl to perform certain simple tasks.
Experienced C / C++ programmers will find
that they already know much of what this day covers and may wish to
start directly with the Perl
Programming Course.
