Some thoughts on learning a new programming language, for me anyway:
Motivation (i wanted to make my own game, and i needed to find a way to save the player "stats")
Simalarity to a preknown language (PERL is close to Javascript and Basic)
A good Book (im using one from QUE)
A place to test scripts (I STILL dont have a good one...)
There can be good. There can be evil. There can be money. There can even be recounts. But nothing can be greater than the power of ........ CHEESE!

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.
