If you're willing to travel, a top-level Perl trainer, Randal Schwartz, is teaching a low-cost eight-hour course on June 24 in Columbus, Ohio. It's called "Learning Perl in a Hurry" and is only $120. This is a significantly compressed version of his normal week-long course that covers his Learning Perl book from O'Reilly (the llama book). http://yapc2010.com/yn2010/talk/2766 http://yapc2010.com/yn2010/wiki?node=LearningPerl The class is taking place immediately after the three-day YAPC::NA::2010 conference (Yet Another Perl Conference). Although YAPC has a range of talks for beginners to advanced Perl programmers, it would be less useful to a complete beginner. It would be a lot more helpful if Randal's class was immediately before the conference than after it, because the target audience for the class is not the target audience for most of the conference talks.
