The idea of weekly or monthly assignments/code contests/whatever seems like a great idea. Right now I do a lot of perl coding, but the company I work for is switching to another language (I won't tell you what it is in order to protect the innocent ;->), so having something to code would be nice. I want to keep my perl skills in order, and a lot of people who try to learn programming need this kind of thing, as well. | [reply] |
I'm a total, *very very* perl newbie, eager to learn, but often not finding the adequate problem/exercise to work on. Idea of weekly contest/assignment/etc is great, and in my opinion it'd be even better if such exercises could be given according to perl programming experience. Give us, newbies, something to work on, something even monks with the least knowledge can do. | [reply] |
