Course Summary
The Introduction to Perl Programming training course covers the core programming skills and knowledge required to leverage Perl when creating robust data processing applications.
The course begins with students learning how to leverage Perl’s strengths in efficiently processing large data sets, including both Input/Output (I/O) concerns as well as developing arbitrary forms of data analysis. While developing these skills, students will next learn how to use Perl as a general-purpose programming language. The course concludes with a special emphasis placed on Perl’s uncomplicated view of data types and memory management, and the use of regular expressions.
Although experience in any other programming language will be an aid in this class, it is not required. The Introduction to Perl Programming training course focuses on Perl 5 and can be taught on Windows or Unix/Linux.
