I'm working my way through Learning Perl at the moment and am new to programming so I feel like I can benefit from just about any guidance I can get. I would take advantage of either a monthly meeting or a hangout/IRC room.
Between Perl Monks, other online resources, and the folks I've met here in Houston already I don't feel like it is a struggle to find someone to ask specific questions of, for dealing with a problem or confusing topic. I think I would get more out of a session that covered some of the projects and applications for Perl that are at beginner/intermediate level. Analyzing some code, best practices, tips and tricks kind of thing. Kevin On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 10:04 PM, G.
