Re^2: Is Perl on the Raspberry Pi worth it?

Are there any Youtube courses?

Why? What do you expect?

If you want Perl on the Raspi, you probably know Perl. So teaching Perl for the Raspi is quite useless.

If you want to work with a Raspi, you are probably aware that you will use Linux, and you know your way around. Teaching Linux, perhaps on a Raspi, is pointless, too (in the context of Perl on the Raspi!).

So, what's left? Some Raspi-specific Perl modules that come with good documentation, as usual. Nothing new for Perl modules. And a few I/O pins that can be controlled by software running on Linux. The latter is a little bit unusual for PC hardware, but absolutely boring on the Raspi. Searching for "raspi pin io" on Youtube yields tons of videos and related searches, explaining more than you ever wanted to know. Searching for the same terms on Google makes that far more than you ever wanted to know.

All that you have to learn is how to do the exactly the same commands in Perl instead of C, C++, Python, Shell, whatever. That's what you find in the POD.

And by the way: Why a video? Why do you want someone to dictate you how slow or fast you want to learn? Written text, probably with images, can be processed as fast or as slow as you want.

And by the way: Why a video? Because learning by video is-the-shit. Narrow your gaze to no more than 15°, get into meditational alpha-wave-mode and let stuff sink unfiltered into your subconcious, no questions no frills. And some day you regurgitate what has been settled, and you are enlightened and really know shit. Television learning works! Each day, millions are taking lessions and complete courses successfully for those who air the programs. perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]

In all seriousness, I have followed through on watching two Youtube videos produced by extremely qualified Electrical Engineers on their projects in the recent past, just to understand the platform and how they approach it. In both cases, the comments turned into a nuisance for the author. They were besieged by (may I use the term) idiots asking such basic questions in "text speak" that didn't make any sense, which eventually pissed off the author(s) to no end. I've a filter in place for my favourite search engine (nope, definitely not Google) that eliminates any Youtube related query responses. Not just for when I'm searching for specific electronic implementation questions, but all questions in general. If I'm up for a video, I'll find it on my own. Lazy has gone to a whole new level in the last generation (or two). Not Perl lazy, but may as well be dead lazy, expecting everything to work perfectly after watching a two-minute video with shoddy and questionable material and really crappy music in the background. /end rant	[reply]
