Hi, I read that and yes it is very helpful.
I was just listening to podcasting and I heard Chad Fowler("my job went
to india: 52 ways to save your job) talking about programming language
in general.
One of the quotes he says that I felt like it was for me was that, "You
really need to get out of your comfort zone time to time or else your
comfort zone will
be one of your limiting factor"....
now I am still a beginner at perl but I have been using perl(I know no
other programming languages) and I am really attached to the perl and
wanted to
get some other perspective and since I have been hearing so much about
ruby..
perl is SO useful that (hmm how should I say, language itself and also
the community) sometimes I lose sight on science of programming.
I guess perl could be a bad language as first programming experince
because perl just works so well and now that I have spend close to year,
I find myself
going backwards to learn some of whys and hows.... But now that I have
spend close to year, I am really happy :-)
I am not sure if learning another language while I am still newbie at my
first language though.........
But giving that perl touches up on just too many areas, I feel like I
should include another language just to get a fresh views.......
