Dru has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Monks,
I hope everyone is starting off 2009 on a good note. It has been good for myself so far, I hope it stays that way. Well, after almost 10 years of Perl programming, I have decided 2009 is the year I am going to take my Perl knowledge to the next level. Right now I consider myself an intermediate Perl programmer (closer to the intermediate-beginner level) and by the end of 2009 I hope I can say I am at the intermediate-advanced level. I told my manager this year I would like to use Perl to automate the team's manual tasks and he actually agreed and said I can go to Perl training if I like. He also tasked me with a project to tie all of our security systems together (similar to a SIM) which I know Perl is going to be great for (it has to be Web based so I plan on using one of the new Web frameworks such as Catalyst). One question that I have for the monestary, does anyone recommend intermediate Perl training that they found usefull? My problem is I think I have adult ADD (I'm being half serious) and I have a hard time learning just by reading a book. I do much better in a training environment when we review a few chapters and then are given a lab to reinforce what we learned. I know I should be able to do this on my own, but I am not disciplined enough to, plus it's difficult with life in the way. I find a big plus of taking a training course is that you can concentrate on that one topic for an entire week without having to worry about family/work interruptions. I appreciate any recommendations and feedback.
