Perl Videos?

by zod (Scribe)
on Nov 25, 2008 at 05:55 UTC ( [id://725770]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

zod has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I found a series of video lectures on Perl on YouTube from the Indian Institute of Technology. They are introductory, but maybe a few others here would find them useful. Each video is an hour long:
  1. Perl - Part I
  2. Perl - Part II
  3. Perl - Part III
  4. Perl - Part IV
Has anyone run across any other Perl videos?

Thanks,

zod

UPDATE: I also found this 2-hour tutorial on "Intermediate Perl" at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute at the University of Minnesota.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

      My stomach hurts I laughed so hard at that.

      "Pretty amazing."

      Heh.

      Imprecise tools for the win? Or, well, I guess for the lose.

      Although I do feel that perl is perhaps more difficult to handle than some other languages would be... Open parentheses and close parentheses seemed to work.

      Have we found a new way to write Lisp?

      for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";

    gnat's lightning talk from YAPC::NA 2002 was a film he made entirely during the conference. It is the story of a Python programmer, wandering confusedly around the Perl conference, encountering many luminaries of the Perl community, all of whom are showing off the most severe corner-cases of their personalities.

    Best. movie. ever.

    I ran across this Perl video. Indispensable, although not in the "instructional" category, exactly.
    There is a flash of Larry Wall about 2/3 the way through.

    Wow.

    I thought I'd check out the advanced parts and jumped to Part IV. Only to see topics such as the hash data type, and subroutines (use & to call subroutines (but it's optional).

    That's after three hours of lectures in Part I to III. So I'd say that's very introductory.

    I've taken this video course a couple of times now and have kept my subscription to the site going just to rewatch certain chapters.

    Perl 5 Essential Training with Bill Weinman. It came out last spring (4/2010) and is about 7 hours. Almost the entire course is a screen cast where you can just code along with him. *(My preferred way to learn.)
