Geekuni

The course is well organised for beginners. It involves a lot of practical learning, experimentation and exploration. The modules are well explained and the shell support for practise has been good too. The pitfalls of Perl language has been explained... Read More very well. I would definitely recommend this for Perl beginners.

The course shows the main concepts of the Perl language at a good pace. It forces us to discover some things for ourselves and experiment in order to learn them deeply. There are many exercises to practice and the solutions also help us to know what would... Read More be the best way to do the same. However, there are some things I think could be improved: - UX on the platform: sometimes I felt a little lost when I finished a topic and didn't know how to proceed, but with a little effort I managed to find out - The text editor is not very good. The main problem is that it freezes keyboard input every X seconds, so I chose to copy the code to my laptop and run it locally

Covers basic parts of Perl. Not a conventional course. Helps learning by writing code. There are some challenging tasks to complete but worth trying. Very effective for developers who have experience with other languages like Java, C++. Keep learning... Read More by solving problems.

Overall good experience. A lot of hands-on practice compared to other courses. If you get stuck the testers feedback does help. The content covers almost all the topics. The final exam could be more hands on rather than just multiple choice. The feedback... Read More on the practice exam could be improved.

I'm an experienced software developer with no experience in Perl before, I was working in Java technologies. I used Geekuni course to start learning Perl from the basics. I'm now confident about the language, the course is well-structured with doing hands... Read More on along with the topics. It covers all the necessary topics on Perl that developer must know. Thanks for this wonderful course.

Pros: 1.The best thing about Geekuni is that it will ensure your hands get dirty if you want to learn Perl and that's the best way one can learn a language. Unless you have a practical experience of what the concepts mean there is no use in spending time... Read More seeing lot of video tutorials online. Kudos for this Idea behind Geekuni to make this possible. 2. Next the mentor - Andrews. Got struck anywhere? Just a message away and he is right there whenever you want with the right guidance!! 3. Finally if you are a Newb to Perl and want to go out as confident Perl developer after a course then no double thoughts - Geekuni is the Place!! Cons: 1.No real cons I can think of but may be the UI can be made little more interactive like chat box with the Mentor rather than a message box since that would allow us to interact with the Mentor and also view the history of messgaes at one place . So that we can avoid navigating to the message page to see any historical comments/guidance provided by the mentor. Not a major one but just a suggestion!!

Andrew's course is more than you could hope to find. It's a REAL hands on course, where you proceed at the very speed that you are able to LEARN, not that of browsing casually through the content. At the end of your work, you are actually able to open... Read More up your favourite code editor and BUILD something.

It was great platform to use to start learning perl, it will help you to start and to understand perl from scratch. It is starting from fundamental and basics to advanced exercises, it shows some explanation and examples at each topic which help you learn... Read More gradually.
