Introduction to Perl (P153)

Perl is a free open-source server-side language which was designed with simplicity in mind. It is perfect to handle the smaller daily tasks as well as larger more complex tasks like data base manipulation. First designed for Unix systems, today Perl is available on most common platforms. This course is designed to give students a basic working knowledge of Perl and its uses with Web design through the CGI. Successful completion will give the student a good starting background in programming in the Perl language. This combined with HTML, (X)HTML and CSS knowledge can enable the student to be eligible for an entry level position in Web Design and/or Web programming.

Applicable Job Roles: web programmers, and web application developers.

Prerequisites
This is an introduction to Perl programming but not to programming. Students must have completed the P010 course of have equivalent experience. Prior knowledge with control structure logic is necessary. The student should also have a good understanding of HTML or (X)HTML and CSS through prior experience or from courses H101 or H401 and H151.
Requirements
Students must have access to a system running the latest version of perl in order to test their assignments. Perl runs on most common OS and platforms. If you are using a web hosting service, you will have to have a unix shell account. A version for Windows can also be downloaded from www.activestate.com. Access to a good text editor, such as MS Notepad, Wordpad or the unix Vi editor are good choices. Basically any editor that doesn't automatically insert carriage returns and line feeds will do fine.

Students can discuss the assignments with the instructor and amongst themselves in the classroom area. This format has no set meeting time, which allows students to attend class at a time most convenient to them, yet still provides logically organized communication between class participants. Students can apply for the completion certificate after finishing the class.
