dyre17 | Are there any videos to supplement http://learn.perl.org/ ? |
rindolf | dyre17: szabgab has released some. |
ology | There are a number of perl topics on slideshare |
thrig | dyre17: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5KYZ74OAak |
pink_mist | if you search for 'yapc' on youtube, you'll find loads of perl talks; not all of them are introductory though. |
rindolf | dyre17: I also created http://perl-begin.org/ . |
tipdbmp | dyre17, you could check the videos from some YAPC conferences: https://www.youtube.com/user/yapcna/playlists |
Soltis | I still don't understand why perldoc isn't enough to learn perl |
Soltis | But I've also accepted that it apparently isn't for most people. |
hekmek | with prior coding experience it is |
hekmek | otherwise probably not :O) |
pink_mist | different people learn differently too |
thrig | "Mark Hamill reads perldocs" (video: someone paging through the perldocs) |
sproingie | i could listen to John Noble read the perldocs |
pink_mist | heh |
rindolf | thrig: Chuck Norris has the whole perldocs memorised. |
pink_mist | sproingie: that the dad from fringe? |
BinGOs | Mark Hamill playing the Joker reading perldocs |
Soltis | hekmek: My prior experience was TCPL 2nd ed. |
sproingie | pink_mist: and the horseman of war in sleepy hollow, yep |
Soltis | rindolf: Chuck Norris learned perl by scrutinizing the surface of a magnetic platter holding a copy of the perl binary. |
rindolf | Soltis: heh. |
hekmek | I'd always suggest reading books on computer science and then some official doc on whatever language you wanna learn |
ology | Then he round house kicked Guido |
rindolf | Soltis: Chuck Norris was born knowing Perl. |
rindolf | Before it was created. |
Soltis | rindolf: No, that was Gauss |
pink_mist | Soltis: don't you mean Summer Glau? |
Soltis | pink_mist: No, she's fictional. |
Soltis | pink_mist: Summer Glau is a figment of Chuck Norris's imagination. |
rindolf | Soltis: she is not. |
rindolf | Soltis: for all you know, you may not exist, and Chuck Norris convinced you that you do. |
Soltis | rindolf: No, I'm a brain in a jar somewhere. |
rindolf | Soltis: Chuck Norris knows where that jar is. ;-) |
Soltis | rindolf: I just come to #perl when they push LSD into my nutrient bath. |
