The "node" (it's actually offsite but listed in tutorials and in nearly ever basic CGI question thread) I've learned the most from: Ovid's CGI Course.
The node I use for reference the most: References quick reference.
The node I think is the least productive node in existance (at least it's my least productive node ;): Are you addicted to Chatterbox?
If I was going for which gave me the most productivity boost I'd have to say the second one, tye++ for that tutorial :).

... The 15-20 minutes a day I spend perusing and offering suggestions is never going to be considered OT by me again! I learn so much here that it's a no-brainer.
You manage to keep it down to 15-20 minutes? Good job.
And it's called 'professional development' -- think about it, if it helps you do your job more efficiently, keeps you informed and in touch with the community, those are all good things.

It's a no brainer - the Monastery is simply the best programming-related community I know of on the web. The fact that its central language is Perl, which is one of my favorites, is almost irrelevant. Perl or not, the amount of general programming / software development wisdom one can accumulate here is priceless.
What more, the Monastery somehow manages to be more relaxed than the newsgroups. There's very little flame, and people talk more to the point.

To flagrently pimp my own node, Get Out of a Dull Meeting is potentially very high in productivity.

I've started visiting PM regularly now that I'm working in an environment where I'm the sole Perl developer. At my last job, there were plenty of Wise Old Gurus lurking about to leech knowledge off. I don't have that opportunity here, so browsing various nodes, even if they (seemingly) have no relevance to any work I'm doing, is extremely important to me.
I like to keep my Perl skills as sharp as possible, and PM is the perfect way for me to do this.

Hello,
I'm very new to Perl Monks as well, but have posted a few times on the site and I have to say that this is without doubt the fastest place to get help on the net. Everyone is really helpful and I can't speak highly enough of it, so well done to you all. I only wish I could offer some advice and help to others, but as yet I have a hard time even understanding some of the posts! Oh well someday hopefully it will all become clear!
So thanks, and has anyone thought about updating the design of this site at all? I mean it's very functional, but the visual experience leaves a little to be desired...
But really great site though and thanks to everyone on here who's helped me in the past.
