I have been recruited to teach a beginning Perl course to at risk, but bright, youths. I think I will use the O'Reily Learning Perl book at least in part and find some sort of short cheat sheet type thing for the intro to Linux part.

So, my question is a two parter: 1) Does anyone have any other suggestions for course material and 2) Does anyone have experience teaching a beginning course and have any words of monkly wisdom to share on the subject.
