Overview
If you already understand the basics of Perl programming,
this video will give you the advanced education you need to master
the real power of Perl. It provides Perl developers with the
practical knowledge they need to create complex programs for
today¹s demanding applications.
After a prerequisite review and a tour of more advanced
regular expression features, the direction shifts to crafting and
using reusable code. Explaining references and packages opens the
door to creating modules and objects. Applied object-oriented
programming gets special attention as Scott demonstrates popular
modules for database and web programming, and how to install them
from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. The course concludes
with building a web-based application project using the Dancer
framework.
In this LiveLessons video, Perl author and trainer Peter
Scott builds on the foundation established in his successful Perl
Fundamentals.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
