> Suggestions? Would anyone be interested in participating in this? I did three in-house training courses at my current job. It was basic perl for non-perl programmers. They were two-hour sesssions, once a week for 7 weeks. about 20 students per class. After that, I wrote "Impatient Perl" as an attempt to create a teach-yourself-perl-in-N-days book. It's about 130 pages long. Still an intro to perl, but takes the student/reader all teh way to object oriented programming and advanced regular expressions. It's licensed GNU-FDL, with the idea that while it might not be perfect, it should be a good place to start. I never broke the book into "training sessions", so I'm not sure how long a course would be, but I wrote it as a text book of sorts, so it should break into a course fairly well. I could teach a course if it were in the evening or something. Not sure how I could work it into the 9-5 routine since I'm working full time. That's what I've got. Greg -- Hungry for a good read?
