When decision makers compare Perl to Java or to .NET one of the issues they look at is the availability and the seriousness of training. What they see is that in Java [1] or .NET [2] there are "road maps" about how to become a J2EE expert or how to become an MCP. In Perl either you have only one single course or if there are more courses they seem to be a set of independent courses. Not a "road map".
So I'd like to build for my company a road map. I looked at other companies:
I found one at Dan Keller: http://www.keller.com/curric/
and an even more focused one at PSDT of Peter Scott: http://www.psdt.com/services/training.html
If there are other such road maps, please share them with me. (I'll post them on http://www.perltrainig.org/ too)
The above two are OK but I was thinking of several blocks, one for each professional so there would be one for: - Web Application development - Testing (QA) - System Administrators
Is it worth separating these fields ?
What do you think ?
