Well, I've finally found some free time (read: I got off my butt) and started writing the online Web programming course that I've mentioned before. I only have the Introduction and Lesson One up, but before I write any more, I'd appreciate feedback from my fellow monks.

Specifically:

If you read through it, you'll notice a lot of links to Perl Monks. Who knows? If it's popular enough, it might drive more people to the site.

The course is free and I intend to keep it that way. However, if some publisher out there wants me to write a book, well, that's another story :)

You can find the course here. You can post comments to this node or e-mail me.

Cheers,
Ovid

If some Monks want to volunteer to write a chapter or two, let me know!
