Re^2: Beginner Recommendations

Hi harangzolt33 thanks so much for posting such a detailed reply. I'm also a beginner and want to ask you a question, would PERL be useful in the following situations:

Programs and applications development

Systems Administration

Database development

Video game development

Web development

Secondly, how would you say PERL has the upper hand over other languages, such as Python? Thanks for reading and looking forward to hearing back from you !

harangzolt33 isn't best placed to respond, since they insist on using decades old tools, and using them arguably badly. To respond to your points in order Yes. Yes. Yes. Not for modern FPS style games. Yes. You're probably going to have to ask more specific questions to get a meaningful answer. Better advice already exists in this thread for places to start.	[reply]

I don't know Python. I plan to learn it one day, but that day hasnt arrived yet. I feel like marto has provided a better answer than I could. Here you can talk to real programmers who have been doing this all their life, and this is their career. I'm just a hobby programmer, so I can't give you professional advice.	[reply]
