Thanks zentara.

The very first thing I did with my Pi was attempt to figure out how I'd use it with Perl. I have ever only done one piece of Python on any of my Pi's, and that was only about a week ago.

I do a lot of prototyping in C/C++, then make that code available with Perl.

Currently, I ship a Tutorial/FAQ with the base distribution (the dist that encompasses all other individual dists). It's not fully complete, and there is information missing where it directs you to the sub-module documentation. It's a start though.

The new series I am going to write will encompass things from beginning to end.

...which, of course, is the real, true, and righteous way sage prorammers should develop.

Thanks, stevieb; you're doing great things.


If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!

Thanks ww!!

I did, of course in the early stages literally dabble at the lowest level with binary :)

Because I needed a very low-level understanding, I practiced, messed around, and wrote a Bit::Manip module to help me understand the mechanics of binary/bit manipulation to better my knowledge of how the heck to read datasheets, and hack hardware. At the time (there was a discussion here about it), I published it as it was a no-brainer publish to the CPAN.

The C/C++ stuff came as a side effect really, when I began writing distributions for specific ICs and hardware.
