Geekuni

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.

GeekUni is indeed a great online training platform. I participated in two of its training materials (i.e. Perl Essentials and Web Development). Both of them were practical and assuming that you have no knowledge in the topic, so they were trying to build... Read More my skill from the ground up. The good point about it is that although it starts from the basic, since it is practical, it is not boring at all and develops your knowledge fast. Also, you have the support of a teacher. The only thing that I wish was better is that I expected to explain object oriented Perl and debug techniques in more depth.
