I really like this idea. Additionally, I like converter's idea of a Perl Puzzlers book. On dalnet #perl, we have a wonderful user (who I do not think frequents this site) named PerlCure. He does something I have yet to see anywhere else: He makes quizzes for the above-average-but-not-stellar perlmongers present. For example: (original credit for the quiz apparently goes to bline) This sort of thing is interesting, but we could also, like Masem pointed out, have actual articles attached to this. I get something akin to this on the fun-with-perl list at least twice a week. We get golf, but we also get very interesting and informative questions such as:
Folks, these are the kinds of things that get me excited about perl, and make me interested in a new function I dont use or underuse, or use in a different way. I get a ton of innovation out of just little things like that. But we dont really see these too often on PM except for in ob-fu. Which is fun... but useless in terms of my really growing as a programmer. Well, almost useless. Masem is right. Articles are a great idea. I dont think I'm qualified to make an article, though I'm happy to try. Perhaps we could have a Quest first to see what articles are wanted, and then, as Masem suggested, have articles submitted. Gee, that almost makes us a periodical. (This particular reason is why I subscribed to <sniff> TPJ) One other note here, tilly suggested I go have a look at Dominus' website, which is excellent. I suggest that for anyone interested in learning more about perl. I am still very interested in seeing what people have to say about this thread, and I'm glad to see what people have had to say thus far. I think the response is mostly uniform. People would like to see more intermediate-upper level content, as a lot of us have moved past the beginning and even intermediate levels of perl programming and are looking to transcend just hackerdom.
yours as always, --
