"Teaching Perl" or even "Teaching Computer Science with Perl." It's the book I'd write if A) I had an extra 1,000 hours in the year and B) my Perl were at a higher level than I could get without another extra 1,000 hours.

It would not sell well, but it would fill a wonderful niche, be good for advocacy, and could probably support a premium price. If it had a companion of "The Perl Workbook" or something for classes then those might take up the sales slack.

I would probably publicly attack such a tome unless

$its_Perl > $competent and $its_instructional_value >= $its_Perl

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.
