you think you're at a disadvantage because you've
got all these bad habbits?
try and learn PERL when it's the only thing you know
i have first-year (university) C++, and FY: SmallTalk
(now smalltalk is a language i LOVE <g> )
you'd be amazed at how many examples are written as:
" x in C++ is written as y in PERL"
aside from basic logic process, trivial knowledge
of what an array and a dictionary are PERL is
essentially the only language i know
i can't wait to learn what the heck a regexp (sp?) is
i can't wait to learn what a DLL is (apart from a
file that crashes all the time)
GUI and graphics (GTK) are so mysterious to me that i
get butterflies thinking about the day when i write
one in PERL (or is that too much coffee?)
... that's why i'm asking so many silly questions
here (read some of my writeups, you'll see)
i do hope that some of the answers and problems i work
through (with the help i find here) can help another
wannabe-JAPH
i find that these ultra-simple problems are completely
undocumented on the web ... it'll be great to have
that for PERL one day
a knowledge base of everything from beginner
to advanced
