( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I am still a novice programmer myself (I do this as a hobby) and have dabbled in a number of different languages, Perl being my latest infatuation. Part of me feels that I should have followed your prescription to assiduously understand the foundation of each language I’ve flirted with to really master it.

But alas, that doesn’t work for me as I don’t have the patience.

For me, to learn and appreciate a language, I have to use it to solve a problem, even if its a contrived one such as the Project Euler challenges, the bioinformatics problems on Rosalind, or, hopefully later this December, the next installment of Advent of Code. The same approach applies whether the language I’m learning is Perl or Brazilian Portuguese. That’s the only way I can retain my motivation to keep going.

Having said that, everyone learns differently so I’d be very interested in hearing how your journey progresses so please keep us updated. Good luck!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
